I would like to be helped with the meaning of the following sentence:
"But Hancock, accomplished general that he was, suffered himself to fall into no such pit"
Does it mean that "general Hancock allowed himself not to make the same mistake"?
Thank you
General Hancock realized that (the previously-described situation) was a problem and did not make the same mistake.
