Summary

Known by his troops in World War II as "The Soldier's General" because of his care and compassion for his men, Omar Bradley commanded the U.S. 12th Army Group in Europe. By the spring of 1945, this group contained four field armies, twelve corps, forty-eight divisions, and more than 1,300,000 men--the largest exclusively American field command in U.S. history. A mild mannered man, General Bradley had the reputation among his men of a beloved teacher, which he was during much of his early career in the Army. He was an eminent tactician and rose through the ranks to become a five-star general. Alan Axelrod applies his signature insight and compelling prose to the life, strategy, and legacy of the general who remains the model for all commanders today as the man who revolutionized the National Guard; shaped the U.S. Army's focus on the individual soldier, and emphasized cooperation among the different branches of the armed forces--a cornerstone of the modern U.S. millitary.

Author Biography

Alan Axelrod is the author of the BusinessWeek bestseller Patton on Leadership, the Great Generals series book Patton, and many books on American and military history. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
