As a general, Montecuccoli shared with Turenne and Condé the first place among European soldiers of his time.
For his success in halting the Turkish advance he had been hailed the savior of Europe.
He was also influential as a military theorist, with perhaps his most famous quote being "For war you need three things: 1.
Money.
2.
Money.
3.
Money."
   His Memorie della guerra profoundly influenced the age which followed his own. "
Unequalled as a master of 17th-century warfare, Montecuccoli excelled in the art of fortification and siege, march and countermarch, and cutting his enemy’s lines of communications.
In advocating standing armies, he clearly foresaw future trends in the military field".
