Fighting U.S. Generals of World War II

General George S. Patton once said to his men, "When your grandchildren ask you what you did in the war, you can tell them, "I fought with Patton." Patton, like all other generals in this book, was proud of the role he and his men played in winning World War II. From the deserts of North Africa, where the Allies first defeated the Germans, to D-day landing and the invasion of Europe, American generals led their men through some of the bloodiest battles in world history. Read on to learn more about ten American military legends (Henry H. Arnold, Omar N. Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Curtis E. LeMay, Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall, George S. Patton, Matthew B. Ridgway, Holland M. Smith, Joseph W. Stilwell.)
