If the title were 500 Important/Noteworthy Military Leaders, that would sound awkward, so instead we have "Great," but listing the important/noteworthy is what Tucker says in his preface he was striving to achieve. That helps explain his selections, many of whom are portrayed as capable men who played significant roles in major wars--perhaps as trainers or planners or theoreticians. Others were outstanding subordinate leaders or “great†within their times and locales.
