He assisted General Omar Bradley in the writing of his autobiography A General's Life 1983 published after the general's death. Blair wrote two dozen history books and hundreds of magazine articles. His last book was Hitler's U-Boat War: The Hunted 1942–1945 1998 which followed Hitler's U-Boat War: The Hunters 1939–1942 1996. Blair's history of the Korean War The Forgotten War: America in Korea 1950–1953 1987 is considered one of the definitive historical works on the war. His work was notable for his criticism of American political and military leaders. Blair also wrote extensively on the submarine war of World War II notably in the bestselling Silent Victory: The U.S. Submarine War Against Japan 1975 considered the definitive work on the Pacific submarine war. Omar Nelson Bradley 12 February 1893 – 8 April 1981 was a senior officer of the United States Army during and after World War II rising to the rank of General of the Army. He was the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and oversaw the U.S. military's policy-making in the Korean War. He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated from the academy in 1915 alongside Dwight D. Eisenhower as part of "the class the stars fell on." After the war he taught at West Point and served in other roles before taking a position at the War Department under General George Marshall. In 1941 he became commander of the United States Army Infantry School. After the U.S. entry into World War II he oversaw the transformation of the 82nd Infantry Division into the first American airborne division. He received his first front-line command in Operation Torch serving under General George S. Patton in North Africa. After Patton was reassigned Bradley commanded II Corps in the Tunisia Campaign and the Allied invasion of Sicily. He commanded the First United States Army during the Invasion of Normandy. After the breakout from Normandy he took command of the Twelfth United States Army Group which ultimately comprised forty-three divisions and 1.3 million men the largest body of American soldiers ever to serve under a single field commander. After the war Bradley headed the Veterans Administration. He was appointed as Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1948 and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1949. In 1950 he was promoted to the rank of General of the Army becoming the last of the nine individuals promoted to five-star rank in the United States Armed Forces. Bradley left active duty in 1953 although remaining on "active retirement" for the next 27 years. In this autobiography Omar N. Bradley 1893-1981 recounts his youth in Missouri his years at the US Military Academy at West Point he graduated in 1915 alongside Dwight D. Eisenhower his assignments on the US-Mexico border and in Montana guarding copper mines during World War I his tours teaching mathematics at West Point and in 1941 commanding of the US Army Infantry School at Fort Benning his active duty during World War II in North Africa Sicily Normandy and eventually commanding 43 divisions and 1.3 million Americans in Europe linking up with Soviet forces on the Elbe in April 1945 sealing the defeat of Nazi forces. Bradley provides vivid descriptions of key figures in the liberation of Europe including Marshall Eisenhower Patton Churchill and Montgomery. Back in Washington Bradley describes his years heading the Veterans Administration his tenure as Army Chief of Staff and as first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff starting in 1949. After being promoted to the rank of General of the Army five stars in 1950 Bradley was the senior military commander when the Korean War started; he supported President Truman’s wartime policy of containment and was instrumental in persuading Truman to dismiss General MacArthur in 1951 after MacArthur resisted administration attempts to scale back the war’s strategic objectives.
