Bibliography

Jim Lacey; Foreword by General Wesley K. Clark

'Lacey's contribution to the Great Generals series substantially redresses the balance in Pershing's favor by focusing on his acheivements.' - Booklist  'Jim Lacey's very readable biography of General Pershing is an excellent reminder of his role in swiftly transforming the United States Army into a major fighting force in 1917 - 1918, and also of his great importance in selecting the men who would command American forces in World War Two. It is a first-rate life of a great American General who is all too often overlooked or underestimated today.' - Michael Korda, author of Ulysses S. Grant and Ike   'Well researched, well presented, and well reasoned, this slim volume makes a convincing case for Pershing as the key figure in the AEF's contribution to  Allied victory in the Great War. Pershing's government gave him two million men in uniform. His tireless work, detailed preparation, and situational awareness molded them into a war-winning army. He might not have been a great captain but John J Pershing was a first-class general.' - Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century   'Jim Lacey has provided a wonderful study of Pershing and his generalship that is well researched, but even more important brings a real understanding of the art of leadership to the subject.' - Williamson Murray, author of A War To be Won   Praise for recent books in the series:   '[MacArthur is a] readable and objective biography by respected World War II historian Richard B. Frank, who is immune to the general's considerable charisma.' - The Washington Times    'Condensing everything about Stonewall into this brief biography, Davis ensures inclusion of sections of Jackson's career in command that are not regarded, as his campaign of 1862 in the Shenandoah Valley universally is, as militarily brilliant...This rapid read ably introduces the famous warrior.'  - Booklist   'Tillman finds much to admire in LeMay, a general who led his own bomber missions
