D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of Paris, the relentless drive through Germany toward Allied victory--Omar Bradley, the "GI General," was there for every major engagement in the European theater. A Soldier's Story is the behind-the-scenes eyewitness account of the war that shaped our century: the tremendous manpower at work, the unprecedented stakes, the snafus that almost led to defeat, the larger-than-life personalities and brilliant generals (Patton, Eisenhower, Montgomery) who masterminded it all.
Montgomery?
ReplyDeleteMontgomery was a pompous fool !! operation market garden was his plan and it delayed the war for months, a total failure in planning.
DeleteThat was my first thought!!!
DeleteWhat a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe Russians won that war, inflicting 80% of German casualties. They didn’t need the Lend Lease either.
Patton actually sucked. Total diva, look up the Battle at Metz.
