You beat me to it. I'd never vote for Monty just because of Market Garden's failure. It overshadows any good things he did earlier.


Ike has to be considered just for his ability to keep the allies coordinated.
Monty was over promoted in my view, don't forget he promised to take Caen on D-Day and look what happen. And he was too cautious as well which probably was the result from El Alamein which was very costly.
