5.0 out of 5 stars A view of the Second World War from the back stage., 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Omar Bradley's book wins my approval for its behind-the-scenes narrative and honest retelling of the men involved in marshalling and directing the war. It is not so much a soldier's story as a commander's story. It is not merely a biography, but it also describes the strategies of the various campaigns in the European Theater. It is powerful because it is objective, not bothering to propagandize or immortalize men such as Patton or Montgomery; enough books have already done that. Bradley gives a look at the men behind the legends and their failures and shortcomings as well as the victories and attributes that turned them into historical figures of perhaps inhuman stature.

5.0 out of 5 stars An humane account of war, 9 April 2008
By Mr. Adrian A. Webber (West Sussex , UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
General bradley's memoirs are so modest and self-effacing that at times it is easy to forget the awesome responsibilities that he carried. he is very clear eyed as to what is really going on around him but his actions always seem to be devoid of ego and grand standing. There appeared to be an awful lot of that going on around him and perhaps he was determined not to allow himself to follow that path himself.

A great and good man and perhaps the most under rated of the war?
