“The perspective of fifteen years, painstaking research,
thousands of interviews, extensive analysis and evaluation, and the creative
talent of John Toland [paint] the epic struggle on an immense canvas…Toland
writes with the authority of a man who was there…He tastes the bitterness of
defeat of those who surrendered and writes as if he had the benefit of the eyes
and ears of soldiers and generals on the other side of the line…If you could
read only one book to understand generals and GIs and what their different wars
were like, this is the book.”—
Chicago Sunday Tribune
