This book is now officially one of my oldest and dearest FRIENDS. It's been everywhere with me — from business travel to deer stands — since we were first introduced at the start of my WWII History class, University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1989.
The beauty is, it's not a 'cover to cover' book, but rather an endearing and definitive 'go to' when a person is curious about a certain battle, and hungry to 'hear' (read) the nitty gritty details — what they were wearing, saying, THINKing.
Leckie is the FIVE STAR GENERAL, and this his Magnum Opus.
