Kind of a mixed review. I found the first half of the book an excellent read about Pershing's life and military experiences. Then the book shifted into unneeded details about his son and grandsons. About 3/4 of the way through the book, I had to force myself to finish reading the book.

I understand that up to and during WWII, Pershing had some comments and input regarding generals serving in that conflict. According to other books, I believe both Marshall and Patton had related contacts with Pershing during this period. These details did not get addressed with any significant content.

If the book would have stopped before getting into the lives of his son and grandsons, it would have been a very good book. Unfortunately, as written, the 2nd half got weighted down and took away from a very positive reading experience. ( )
