Orig owners book stamp impressed inside front. 429 Pgs. ISBN 0671701150. From the Battle of the Bulge to Vietnam and Beyond: General Creighton Abrams and the Army of His Times. He's been called the greatest American general since Ulysses Grant, the world's champion tank commander, a pure soldier, and, affectionately, General ''Abe''. Yet relatively little is know by the general public about this man who, for more than four decades, in three wars and in peacetime service, demonstrated the skill, courage, integrity, and compassion that made him a legend in his profession. Now, the author brings us the definitive biography of General Creighton Abrams, placing the man and his achievements within the context of the Army he served and ultimately led, and of the national and international events in which he played a vital role.
