Zach Maldonado recommended it to me and I used small portions of it to highlight the challenges the Army faced in amphibious operations and combat loading in the Med to compare to the challenges the Marines faced in 1942 at Guadalcanal. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"You play games to win, not lose. And you fight wars to win. That's spelled W-I-N ! And every good player in a game and every good commander in a war…has to have some son of a bitch in him. If he doesn't, he isn't a good player or commander.... It's as simple as that. No son of a bitch, no commander." Lt. Gen. L. K. Truscott, Jr. was a hard-driving U.S. colonel and general in World War II, a leader and victor in North Africa, Italy, and Southern France. He did not abide incompetence, even when it came from his superiors. He always spoke truth to power. And in this timeless classic, which he first published in 1954, Truscott tells the unvarnished truth about all sorts of key decisions, events, and battles--and all sorts of generals and soldiers--while giving insight into the crucial military and political moments of this time. Now republished by Quid Pro in the History and Heroes Series, it is a Digitally Remastered Book. The Quid Pro edition removes underlines, stray marks, library markings, and distracting printer artifacts so often found in modern reprints. It restores missing pages and maps, as well as completing missing text found in other publishers' editions. This makes it the most readable, usable version of this important book--and one ideal for classroom assignment and a more enjoyable reading experience. This fascinating account deserves to be restored to its glory. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
