Bradley

Dubbed “the GI General” by the World War II press corps for his close identification with his men, General Omar Bradley rose through the ranks with equal measures of determination and excellence, commanding the U.S. 12th Army Group in the European theater and later serving as U.S. Army Chief of Staff, first chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and first Chairman of NATO. In this superb addition to the Great Generals Series, Alan Axelrod traces Bradley’s career from West Point to his combat experience in North Africa, the Normandy landings, and the Battle of the Bulge, culminating in his distinguished postwar service. A methodical tactician, Bradley emerges here as a cornerstone figure in the creation of the modern American military.

How could a biography of Omar Bradley not get five stars?

Bradley: A great work by author Alan Axelrod
September 23, 2008

I've just finished Bradley penned by author Alan Axelrod. And, it’s a well written work, Axelrod has presented Bradley in a manner which is both easy to understand and read. History buffs of World War II will find this book a nice addition to their collections. I personally found Axelrod’s writing style smooth, and really did not put the book down for two days. I’ve come away from this read with a fresh perspective on Omar Bradley and the role he played during World War II. In addition, I look forward to future works from this author.

Accurate, but necessarily dry
March 23, 2008

Alan Axelrod's biography of General Omar Bradley is straightforward and to the point. Bradley, unlike say Patton, was not a complicated personage, and hence his biogrpahy is an "easy" read. Still, most readers will find interesting new information regarding the general's life before and after WWII. Axelod, just tells Bradley's story. For instance when, under Bradley's orders, allied bombers twice (unintentionally) bombed allied troops, we don' read much about Bradley's anguish over the loss of life or the polticial ramifications of such a mistake. While intended for the history buff, Bradley, both the man and this author's telling of his story, is easy and straigthforward enough for a high school student looking for a quick read about World War II.
