A Soldier's Story by Omar N. Bradley (Author), A.J. Liebling (Introduction)

Book Description - D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of Paris, the relentless drive through Germany toward Allied victory--Omar Bradley, the "GI General," was there for every major engagement in the European theater. A Soldier's Story is the behind-the-scenes eyewitness account of the war that shaped our century: the tremendous manpower at work, the unprecedented stakes, the snafus that almost led to defeat, the larger-than-life personalities and brilliant generals (Patton, Eisenhower, Montgomery) who masterminded it all. One of the two books on which the movie Patton was based, A Soldier's Story is a compelling and vivid memoir from the greatest military tactician of our time.

"Superb history and literature...surpassed only by the magnificent volumes of  Winston Churchill."  -- The Saturday Review

"A Soldier's Story tells, better than any other book of its kind to date, how the war in the European theater was fought and why it was fought that way."
--A. J. Liebling, The New Yorker

General Omar Bradley quotes

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.
Omar Bradley 1948

The World has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.
Omar N. Bradley, Speech 1948

I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit and to mothball his opinions.
Omar Bradley

We are given one life, and the decision is our whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.
Omar Bradley

In war, there is no second prize for the runner-up.
General Omar N. Bradley

With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents.
Omar Bradley, Speech 1948

The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley, Speech 1948

Leadership in the democratic army means firmness, not harshness; understanding, not weakness; justice, not license; humaneness, not intolerance; generosity, not selfishness; pride, not egotism.
General Omar N. Bradley
