Crusade: The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War

Rick Atkinson

Mariner Books, 1994

Exciting And Well Written
I am ashamed to admit that this excellent book sat on my bookshelf for a number of years while I read untold numbers of lesser books. I had heard it was a good book, which was the reason I purchased it, and it turns out that everything positive that lead me to buy the book was in fact true. The first thing that stood out for me was that this author is very good at his craft. I almost forgot I ...

Incredible research, scholarship and writing
I remember World War II as a kid on the home front. This book is an absolute masterpiece. The Notes alone are worth reading in their entirety. The author cites personal interviews, correspondence, and even Box numbers from little known Army archives. His mastery of "the telling detail" is superb. I was brought to the book recently by watching an interview of Prof. Gordon Wood, whose work I ...

Pocket, 1991

By far the best book I have ever read
This is one excellent book. It is a must read for people who have been in the military and for that fact, anyone and everyone. This book starts with the Class of 1966 as the enter Westpoint. They start out as freshmen (I believe the term was plebes), the book takes the readers through the trials and tribulations of each of the main characters as they endure that first year. As the book ...

Instructions for American Servicemen in France during World War II

United States Army

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

Speaking democracy in a different voice
As the Allies prepared the European invasion at Normandy, Pentagon and OSS authors put together a small pamphlet for GIs to take with them: Instructions for American Servicemen in France. Similar pamphlets were on the drawing board for all the European countries that would be invaded, but the French edition was the one with most urgency. One million copies were printed, making it one of the ...

This extraordinary study recalls the Allies' efforts from its Morocco landing (1942) to victory in Germany (1945) from the Major ...
