"Corps Commanders of the Bulge" Topic

"World War II is not without its exemplars of leadership across all levels of war: tactical, operational, and strategic. Volumes of text have examined the command styles of Eisenhower, Patton, Macarthur, and Bradley at the theater and field army command levels. Likewise, historians have tracked the experiences of companies of infantry soldiers and their non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, and captains.

Standing in that gap is Dr. Harold R. Winton's Corps Commanders of the Bulge, which covers with great detail the training, development, and battlefield execution of the six integral operational-level leaders who shaped the path to victory in this pivotal battle of World War II. Winton, a retired Army officer and Professor Emeritus of Military History and Theory at the Air Force's School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, provides a multi-faceted account of the battle that was the largest American victory of the war. Moreover, this book is a highly-regarded analysis of the art of command through case studies of generals Leonard T. Gerow, Troy H. Middleton, Matthew B. Ridgway, John Millikin, Manton S. Eddy, and Lawton Collins…"
