Brothers, Rivals, Victors: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley and the Partnership That Drove the Allied Conquest in Europe

Jonathan Jordan. Independent historian Jordan ("Lone Star Navy", with research based on diaries and personal accounts, puts us in the mindset of the protagonists and their staffs to understand what was boiling under the surface. Another combination of generals might have fared better or worse—we will never know. Patton died in December 1945 after a car accident, while Eisenhower and Bradley moved upward and on. This is very much an emotional military history, compelling and easy to read, yet also well documented. Recommended to both specialists and general readers.--Library Journal (Check Catalog)
