Bradley and Clay Blair (read 26 Feb 1989) While this book is really written by Clay Blair, it is told in the first person singular and reads very well. Bradley was born Feb 12, 1893, in the house where his mother was born, three miles west of Clark, Randolph County, Missouri. When he was 12 they moved to Higbee, Mo., and when he was 14 his father died and the family moved to Moberly, Missouri. He went to West Point--class of 1915 ("the class the stars fell on"). It is just a great story. though one wonders how his troops felt when they read how anxious he was to have his troops play a leading role in the fighting. After the war he headed the VA for two years and then was Army Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, retiring in 1953. Thereafter he lived an interesting life (covered hurriedly in a "collaborator's afterword") till he died April 8, 1981. This has been a most interesting book and was very worthwhile. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

While informative, I enjoyed A Soldier’s Story more on his Word War 2 career and Jim DeFelice’s Bradley biography more for a cradle to grave biography.
I definitely endorse reading his autobiography coauthored by Clay Blair and believe that the General Omar Bradley’s view on his service in World War II and his service as both Army Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Joint Chief’s of Staff is clearly and honestly portrayed as he saw it.
This book develops his feelings to serving with for or with George Marshall, Ike, Patton and Montgomery and the development of his relationship with all and the dynamics of these relationships. ( )
