The First In-Depth Biography of Americaâs Last Five-Star General
He was known as Âthe G.I. Generalâ humble, self-effacing, hard-working, reflecting the small-town virtues of the America whose uniform he wore. But those very virtues have led historians to neglect General Omar BradleyÂuntil now. Bestselling author Jim DeFelice, in this, the first-ever in-depth biography of Americaâs last five-star general, tells Bradleyâs full story, and argues that the neglected G.I. General did more than any other to defeat Hitler in World War II.
While General George S. Patton has garnered much of the glory, General Dwight David Eisenhower has claimed much of the worldâs respect, and British General Bernard Montgomery has kept the Union Jack flying, as DeFelice proves, it was the unassuming Bradley who actually developed the strategy and the tactics that won the war in Europe. Meticulously researched, using previously untapped documents and unpublished diaries and notes, Omar Bradley: General at War reveals:
Provocative, thorough, original, Jim DeFeliceâs Omar Bradley: General at War deserves a place on the shelf of every reader of World War II history.
He was known as Âthe G.I. Generalâ humble, self-effacing, hard-working, reflecting the small-town virtues of the America whose uniform he wore.

While General George S. Patton has garnered much of the glory, General Dwight David Eisenhower has claimed much of the worldâs respect, and British General Bernard Montgomery has kept the Union Jack flying, as DeFelice proves, it was the unassuming Bradley who actually developed the strategy and the tactics that won the war in Europe. Meticulously researched, using previously untapped documents and unpublished diaries and notes, Omar Bradley: General at War reveals:
- Why Bradley, not Patton, deserves most of the credit for Americaâs victories in North Africa
- How BradleyÂfirst Pattonâs subordinate, then his superiorÂwas one of Pattonâs great defenders, while also recognizing his weaknesses, and tried to cover up the infamous slapping incident
- How Eisenhower panickedÂwhen Bradley didnâtÂduring the early stages of the Battle of the Bulge, delaying an American counterattack that could have saved thousands of lives
- Why Bradley was a radical innovator in the use of combined air, armor, and infantry power
- How Bradley, contrary to those who like to portray him as a staid counterpart to Patton, was one of the most ardent practitioners of fast-moving offensives
- Why Bradley expected the Germans might use radiological weapons at Normandy
Provocative, thorough, original, Jim DeFeliceâs Omar Bradley: General at War deserves a place on the shelf of every reader of World War II history.
