He's been called the greatest American general since Ulysses Grant the world's champion tank commander a pure soldier and affectionately General 'Abe.' Yet relatively little is known by the general public about this man who for more than four decades in three wars and in peacetime service demonstrated the skill courage integrity and compassion that made him a legend in his profession. Now in THUNDERBOLT Lewis Sorley brings us the definitive biography of General Creighton Abrams placing the man and his achievements within the context of the Army he served and ultimately led and of the national and international events in which he played a vital role. Meticulously researched and richly detailed THUNDERBOLT explores the brilliant career of this authentic military hero from cadet to Army Chief of Staff. A classic American success story Creighton Abrams graduated from West Point in 1936 and spent four years as a troop officer in the 7th Cavalry Regiment Fort Bliss before joining the newly established Armored Force in 1940. He served with the 4th Armored Division throughout World War II first as commander of the 37th Tank Battalion later as Combat Command commander. During that war he won two Distinguished Service Crosses led the tank column that broke through the Nazi encirclement of the 101st Airborne Division in the Battle of the Bulge and used up or wore out seven tanks all of them named Thunderbolt. A complex and sophisticated man Abrams was equally capable whether leading a tank column across Europe or overseeing Army troops on civil rights duty during integration at the University of Mississippi. In Vietnam he further proved his tactical skill and diplomacy as commander of U.S. forces during the four difficult years of the American withdrawal. THUNDERBOLT sheds new light on these largely neglected latter years of the Vietnam conflict showing how Abrams radically revised the approach to fighting the war and achieved unprecedented success in anticipating and preempting enemy offensives at a time when his own troops were progressively being redeployed to the United States. Abrams returned from Vietnam to an Army racked with all the problems of having fought a long and unpopular war. Succeeding General William C. Westmoreland as Army Chief of Staff he set about the task of restoring the integrity self-confidence and self-respect of the force. Despite his untimely death after only two years in office he has been credited by the leaders of today's Army with initiating the reforms that led to victory in Desert Storm.".

‎They Marched Into Sunlight: War And Peace Vietnam And America October 1967‎

‎Simon & Schuster 2004. Book. Near-Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings.Tight spine clean pages - NO writing marks or tears inside book 572 pages. Illustrated with photos. Covers are clean and bright show light wear NO tears. Here is the epic story of Vietnam and the sixties told through the events of a few gripping passionate days of war and peace in October 1967. They Marched Into Sunlight brings that tumultuous time back to life while exploring questions about the meaning of dissent and the official manipulation of truth issues as relevant today as they were decades ago. In a seamless narrative Maraniss weaves together the stories of three very different worlds: the death and heroism of soldiers in Vietnam the anger and anxiety of antiwar students back home and the confusion and obfuscating behavior of officials in Washington. To understand what happens to the people in these interconnected stories is to understand America's anguish. Based on thousands of primary documents and 180 on-the-record interviews the book describes the battles that evoked cultural and political conflicts that still reverberate.
