Wedemeyer Reports, a political general,
By
This review is from: Wedemeyer Reports (Hardcover)
I wonder if there is any connection from Animal House, where the A** Hole ROTC commander with the white horse is named Douglas C. Nedemeyer, which seems pretty close to Albert C. Wedemeyer.... Since this book is written by Al Wedemeyer, we'll probably never know.
Wedemeyer spent the first years of the war working for Marshall, planning the invasion of Europe. When Chiang, Mountbatten, and Roosevelt finally decided to dump Stillwell, Wedemeyer got one of his jobs. Wedemeyer became Chiang's chief of staff. Wedemeyer was convinced that the Chicoms weren't going to be a good thing for China, but was unable to convince Truman of that before we had helped them into power. We also kind of screwed up Vietnam about then. We did do the right thing in Greece though. Wedemeyer was more of a politician than Stillwell (read his book too). Actually, I don't own this book, I borrowed it from the library. If I bought every book I read, I'd have your warehouse. |
