À propos de cet audio

 Known by his troops in World War II as "The GI General" because of his close identification with the men under his command, Omar Bradley commanded the U.S. Twelfth Army Group in Europe. By the spring of 1945, this group contained four field armies, 12 corps, 48 divisions, and more than 1,300,000 men, the largest exclusively American field command in U.S. history.

A mild mannered man, General Bradley created the impression less of a soldier than of a teacher, which he was during much of his early career in the Army. He earned a reputation as an eminent tactician and rose through the ranks to become a five-star general.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"He was America's General, embodying...core values of integrity and respect that reflected the democracy he served....the leadership lessons are universal, and they are timeless." (Lt. Gen. [Ret.] Daniel Christman, former superintendent, U.S. Military Academy, West Point)

Alan Axelrod's review of the life & career of General Omar Nelson Bradley is well-written, well-researched, and insightful. Axelrod compiles an effective exposé of the man's life by poring over military documents, letters, and General Bradley's own writings. By the end of the book - following the Five-star's progression from an unspectacular Missouri childhood to helping reshape the US Military in the interwar years to WWII exploits to Postwar Head of the VA to decisions as Truman's/Eisenhower's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - I had developed an enlightening opinion of an opinionated man but a genuine patriot (Confrontations with General Montgomery in Europe and General MacArthur in Korea are particularly illustrative).

Reader William Hughes provides exemplary narration - with spot-on diction, cadence, timbre, and tone. He performs well enough to keep a fairly dry subject interesting. Bravo.

Altogether, I rate 'Bradley' a respectable 8.5 stars out of 10. The subject matter isn't particularly gripping & the book follows a strikingly straighforward chronological matrix (excepting an excellent final chapter discussing his legacy) - but it was a great download option to play in the background while going about housework.. providing some much-valued edification for an admittedly "casually-interested" student of Military History like me. I am grateful that Audible included this audiobook as a 'Plus' option.. because it's good enough to merit a Credit from the right reader.
