General Omar N. Bradley gives the reader a behind-the-scene look at the great moments of history that he lived through and his impressions of the natures of such great men as Montgomery and Patton in this straight-forward autobiography. Known for his plain-spoken manner, General Bradley gives the reader honest and revealing answers to such questions as: How does a man lead the largest field army ever assembled? / How is the mightiest of amphibious invasions planned, and once underway how is it directed? / How are decisions made in war whose consequences are almost impossible to foresee? / How are generals chosen for combat command - and why are some promoted while others are broken? / What have we learned from WWII about fighting, about allied command, about the other peoples of the world? A fascinating, first-hand look at war and one of America's great generals ever.
