General Walter Krueger by Kevin C Holzimmer
General Walter Krueger is still one of the least-known army commanders of World War II. This book resurrects the brilliant career of this great military leader while deepening our understanding of the Pacific War. By showing how he breathed life into Pacific war strategy, it gives him that credit and fills a gap in American military history.
Holzimmer's meticulously researched study rightfully places Krueger in the center of events between 1943 and 1945, helping to explain the achievements and frustrations of American commanders and soldiers as they pushed back the Japanese enemyMichael Schaller, author of Douglas MacArthur: The Far Eastern General ""A lucid and definitive military biography that offers a convincing portrait of Krueger both as an army commander and as an individual subject to great pressures from both the enemy and his own immediate superior. Excellent."" Stanley L. Falk, former Chief Historian, U.S. Air Force, and author of Decision at Leyte ""Makes a genuine contribution to the literature on World War II."" Edward Drea, author of MacArthur's ULTRA: Codebreaking and the War against Japan, 1942-1945
