This week on the blog! I defend my pick for Luigi Cadorna as the worst general of WWI. Though I admit, it is hard to roast Cadorna any harder than Boroević did - but I'm sure I can make up for it by doing the exact same thing 10 more times.https://acoup.blog/2021/10/08/collections-luigi-cadorna-was-the-worst/ …

It feels like you have to do a "Who was the best WWI general?" now.
Trickier proposition; there are a fair number of candidates. It's also difficult because many of them made unfortunate post-war decisions, which ought not factor in, but do for many people. In the event, probably I'd go w/ Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck? But a tough call.

By bad decisions - is that in reference to Petain or Ludendorff? Or perhaps both?

Although Lettow-Vorbeck was an incredible irregular fighter, I have to wonder how well he'd have handled trench warfare. I'm sure a number of WWI trench commanders would also have bloomed brilliantly in a non-trench battlefield.
