This review is from: A General's Life: An Autobiography (Paperback)

A thorough and candid autobiography. Especially vauable for his candid evaluations of fellow American officers with whom he worked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written story by an amazing general, December 30, 2010

This review is from: A General's Life: An Autobiography (Paperback)

I actually read the hardcover version. I really enjoyed this well-written book. My one disappointment was that it stopped after the Korean War because that's when he retired. But, he included his early life, so I'd like to have read about his life after retirement in his own words rather than as a synopsis by someone else.

I knew General Bradley when I was a child in the late 1970s. He visited a health mine not far from my home in Montana in the summers. There were some large boulders near there where chipmunks hung out. My dad and I would feed them and General Bradley and his valet would stop to feed them also. Dad had a lot of respect for General Bradley. Dad was a Marine and served in WWII. So, I figured if a Marine thought highly of an Army General, he must be pretty special. He was always friendly and kind to me. I've met several famous people in my life, but I can honestly say that he is one of the few I'm proud to have known.

Book in great condition.

About the book, a MUST HAVE for any researcher of the 1900-1955 US military and politics. Unlike McArthur, Patton, Montgomery or even Ike, Bradley writtes a unbiased and contrasted biography.
