A propos de cet article

Author: Alan E. Mesches Publisher: Casemate Publishers Publication Date: 2020 Format: Hardcover Pages: 216 Dimensions: 6" x 9" Illustrations: 15 photographs Language: English ISBN-13: 9781612008264 Major General James A. Ulio never fired a shot in battle — yet the Allies could not have won World War II without him. This is the first full biography of one of the most consequential and least-known figures of the war. As Adjutant General of the U.S. Army throughout World War II, Ulio faced an almost impossible task: building an army capable of fighting simultaneously in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. Through his extraordinary administrative leadership, the Army grew from roughly 200,000 soldiers to eight million in less than five years. He oversaw the lowering of the draft age, directed training operations, and managed the complex logistics of getting the right troops to the right places at the right time. Many American families of the era would have recognized his name — it appeared on nearly 900,000 telegrams, each beginning with the heartbreaking words "…regret to inform you…" But his responsibilities went far beyond those grim communications. Ulio became the public face of the Army, boosting troop morale through radio addresses and public appearances, and in 1944 issued the order that ended segregation on military transportation and in recreational facilities on Army posts — a bold and progressive step for the era. The son of an immigrant soldier with only an eleventh-grade education, Ulio enlisted as a private in 1900, earned his commission in 1904, and went on to serve as military aide to two presidents. His 45-year career is a remarkable American story — and this thoroughly researched biography finally gives him the recognition he deserves. A must-read for anyone passionate about World War II history, military leadership, and the unsung heroes behind Allied victory. Ships from Georgia, USA.…
