He was known as "the G.I. General" - humble, self-effacing, hard-working, reflecting the small-town virtues of the America whose uniform he wore. But those very virtues have led historians to neglect General Omar Bradley - until now. Bestselling author Jim DeFelice, in this, the first-ever biography of America's last five-star general, tells Bradley's full story, and argues that the neglected G.I. General did more than any other to defeat Hitler in World War II.
DeFelice reveals:
Why Bradley deserves most of the credit for America's victories in North Africa
How Bradley was one of Patton's great defenders and tried to cover up the infamous slapping incident
How Eisenhower panicked - when Bradley didn't - during the early stages of the Battle of the Bulge
Why Bradley expected the Germans might use radiological weapons at Normandy
Meticulously researched, using previously untapped document and unpublished diaries, Omar Bradley: General at War deserves a place on the shelf of every reader of World War II history.
