The Inherent Incompatability of Morgoth and Sauron - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Despite what people say about the movies, Tolkien does not seem to particularly like or care about Denethor. I know he addressed him in at least one of the letters I read and he was none too sympathetic, calling him nothing more than a petty tyrant. This is in sharp contrast to how a lot of people online seem to view him ie. as a tragic ruler manipulated by the evil Sauron.
