Winston Groom presents The Generals: Patton, MacArthur, Marshall and the Winning of World War II

Celebrated historian Winston Groom tells the intertwined and uniquely American tales of George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, and George Marshall—from the WWI battle that shaped them to their greatest victory: leading the allies to victory in World War II. These three remarkable men-of-arms, who rose from the gruesome hell of World War I to become the finest generals of their generation during World War II, redefined America's ideas of military leadership and brought forth a new generation of American soldier. Their efforts revealed to the world the grit and determination that would become synonymous with America in the postwar years.

Filled with novel-worthy twists and turns, and set against the backdrop of the most dramatic moments of the 20th century, The Generals is a powerful, action-packed book filled with marvelous surprises and insights into the lives of America's most celebrated warriors.

Winston Groom is the author of 15 previous books, including Vicksburg, 1863, Patriotic Fire, Shrouds of Glory, Forrest Gump, and Conversations with the Enemy (with Duncan Spencer), which was a Pulitzer-Prize finalist.
