BOOK SYNOPSIS
In this persuasive biography, Jim Lacey sheds light on General Pershing's legacy as the nation's first modern combat commander, setting the standard for today's four-star officers. When the U.S. entered into WWI in 1917, they did so with inadequate forces. In just over a year, Pershing built and hurled a one million man army against forty battle-hardened German divisions, defending the hellish Meuse-Argonne and turning the tide of the war. With focus and clarity, Lacey traces the development of Pershing from Indian fighter, to guerrilla warrior against the Philippines insurgency to victorious commander in WWI.
BOOK REVIEWS
Praise for recent books in the series:
[MacArthur is a] readable and objective biography by respected World War II historian Richard B. Frank, who is immune to the general's considerable charisma." --The Washington Times
"Condensing everything about Stonewall into this brief biography, Davis ensures inclusion of sections of Jackson's career in command that are not regarded, as his campaign of 1862 in the Shenandoah Valley universally is, as militarily brilliant. . . .This rapid read ably introduces the famous warrior." --Booklist
"Tillman finds much to admire in LeMay, a general who led his own bomber missions and was more familiar with flying equipment than his own men."The New York Sun
