A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"The crux of the fighting was the place I headed for." -General J. Lawton Collins

Collins was a true leader of men with his iron-clad devotion to duty, his genuine concern for those under his command, and his seemingly unending drive to defend his nation against all enemies-no matter where the fight took him...
