Known by his troops in World War II as "The GI General" because of his close identification with the men under his command, Omar Bradley commanded the U.S. Twelfth Army Group in Europe. By the spring of 1945, this group contained four field armies, 12 corps, 48 divisions, and more than 1,300,000 men, the largest exclusively American field command in U.S. history.

A mild mannered man, General Bradley created the impression less of a soldier than of a teacher, which he was during much of his early career in the Army. He earned a reputation as an eminent tactician and rose through the ranks to become a five-star general.

I thoroughly enjoyed this biography because it touched upon his younger self and concentrated on his military career and it’s affect on war and the future of the military.

Insightful

Although it is a short biography of Bradley, he is given the attention that is deserved for his man of the people approach. His keen awareness of the importance towards progressive infantry tactics and combined arms approaches are brought forward in the biography giving context to his performance during the Second World War.

A Hidden Gem
