General Omar Bradley "was the soldiers' general—modest, industrious, above intrigue, the skilled tactician and strategist who had stood at Eisenhower's right hand in Tunisia, Sicily and Normandy during World War II and who, before his retirement from active duty, had become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff." His military memoir, A Soldier's Story, was praised on publication as "unusually clear and interesting in its account of war at the top command level. A Soldier's Story is an important historical document" (New York Times). With 55 maps and 17 black-and-white illustrations; without original glassine, slipcase.

Cloth and text block edges with light spotting. An extremely good copy.
