I of course have heard of him. Never read any of his stuff before though. A couple of weeks ago I found "Brave Men" at a used book store for just a coupe of bucks, so I thought I would give it a try – am about 1/2 done at present.
It really is a very interesting study of the avergae dude. Several chapters on the contributions of troop types you seldom think about. No wonder the GIs liked him.

You should read Pyle's most famous piece: "The Death of Captain Waskow." It'll break your heart.
