Pershing (read 26 Oct 2009) This first volume of the History Pulitzer Prize winner for 1932 turns out to be very readable and is a straight-forward workmanlike account of Pershing's time from May 1917 when he was named commander-in-chief of the A.E.F up to April 1918. He does a good job showing what an extraordinarily tough job he had, and one is struck anew how close the Allies came to losing World War I. One is convinced they would have lost except that the U.S. entered. I am looking forward to the account of the time in the next volume when the war proceeds to victory.

This memoir with diary excerpts is a concise record of General Pershing's experiences in his role in WWI, providing insight into the war told from the American perspective. It tells of his early life as a soldier, and events leading up to this war while the world sleepwalked its way into a catastrophe of indescribable proportions. No doubt, Pershing's insights after this war helped shape the thinking of future American generals."MY primary purpose in writing this story of the American Expeditionary Forces in France is to render what I conceive to be an important service to my country. In that adventure there were many lessons useful to the American people, should they ever again be called to arms, and I felt it a duty to record them as I saw them."J.J.
