He could trowel on the charming drawing room conversation but he could toss off typical Mike Fink language too."

The greatest general of his day was a scrambler who never had a plan, strategic or tactical, that did not break down or change the necessity in the field. He was the master of the broken play, so confident of his ability to improvise, cover his own mistakes, and capitalize on those of his enemies that he repeatedly plunged his armies into uncertain, seemingly desperate situations, only to emerge victorious, 'blundering' to glory."
