在中华民族的历史长河中，战争史占了相当长的时间。从历史唯物主义的观点讲，决定战争胜负的是人民群众的支持和士兵的拼搏，但战争的导演和主演却是有代表性的军事人物。在人民群众创造历史的进程中，军事人物无论是代表何阶级、何民族的利益而征战杀伐，或辟疆开宇，功高勋著，名扬千古；或败军辱身，祸国殃民，遗臭万年，都是当时主客观相互作用的历史产物，集中体现了人类当时及前代的聪明才智和经验教训。从“车上将军”到“马上将军”乃至今天的“网上将军”，壮阔激烈的战争长卷，每一幅都因有一两个乃至几十个军事代表人物的生动形象而显其特色。 “江山代有才人出，各领风骚数百年”。在进行有中国特色新军事变革的今天，追溯历史，研讨评价军事人物的功过得失，总结吸取军事人物的经验教训，无疑对搞好爱国主义、革命英雄主义、军人职业道德教育有现实的辅助和推动作用。(War occupies a considerable length of time during the long history of Chinese nation.
