I think the NVA commander in "We Were Soldiers" is based of off him.
No doubt he was a great tactician and leader, I would certainly put him in the top 10. But off the top of my head, I would say Patton, Eisenhower, Rommel, and von Manstein were better leaders. I would say Giap is on the level perhaps of Montgomery and Marshall.
All the aforementioned are land commanders. If we were to include Naval commanders as well, it would really make the list interesting.
