An interesting story. Sometimes I think Ike was one of the things MacArthur was right about.
Omar Bradley’s “A Soldier’s Story” is a long but very good read.
I believe Simpson was one of the best unsung generals that Rick’s praises in his book “The Generals” Simpson did a great job with little fanfare, retired quietly and died soon after.
I’ll have to check out the Ricks book. See if he has anything on Alexander Patch who replaced Patton as commander of 7th Army. Patch was another very good general who didn’t cultivate publicity and who died soon after WWII came to an end. My dad served under Patch and thought highly of him.
