A Soldier's Story recounts the battles of World War II from a soldier's perspective. General Omar Nelson Bradley was a senior officer of the United States Army during and after World War II. Bradley was considered "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" (Drew Middleton, New York Times). A Soldier's Story is a compelling and vivid memoir from one of the greatest military tacticians of our time.
