Product Details

This is General Omar N. Bradley’s own account of World War II from the perspective of one of the senior American commanders who actually directed the war in Europe. Bradley commanded the U.S. First Army during the Normandy invasion and later the 12th Army Group, the largest American field command ever assembled. A Soldier’s Story draws from his wartime experience to take the reader through the campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Normandy, France, the Battle of the Bulge, and the final drive into Germany. It is one of the cornerstone firsthand memoirs of the European Theater. And this copy has the feature that changes everything: Omar N. Bradley’s signature directly on the title page. It is the 1951 Henry Holt edition, with the original four-star cloth binding and Bradley portrait frontispiece. For a WWII, military-history, presidential-era, or autograph collector, this is an opportunity to own the memoir of a five-star General of the Army signed by Bradley himself.
