I want to start a new feature where each week a pose a question that will hopefully spark some POLITE discussion across the forum.
This week's question: who was Napoleon's greatest marshal?
You pick the criteria that you want to use for judging it (that's part of what should make the discussion interesting).
Happy posting!

Good evening, fellas! I'm new over here, and I've started to get really interested in the character of Davout in the Russian campaign. I've read some very interesting comments, I see many of you have a crazy level of knowledge. Respect! About his very biography, does anybody know the main and most "scientific" texts in historiography on the topic? I'm selecting a list of books to read and analyze over the summer: I've heard of Gallagher and Chandler, but what else?
