The GI General as Global Strategist

Alan Axelrod verfasst Bücher zu den Themen Geschichte, Wirtschaft und Management. Zudem fungiert er als Berater für Museen und kulturelle Einrichtungen. Er hat sich intensiv mit der Lebensgeschichte von Gandhi auseinandergesetzt und dabei Kernelemente seines Führungsstils herausgearbeitet, die auch heutzutage ihre Gültigkeit haben. Axelrod ist in den USA einem großen Publikum bekannt, durch seine Arbeit für den TV-Sender Discovery Channel.

'The author of George S. Patton's biography in the Great Generals series now gives us the life of that most flamboyant officer's polar opposite...Axelrod's fine, brief treatment begins with distinction the refurbishing of his reputation.' - Booklist, starred review   'Bradley, the latest offering from the 'Great Generals' series edited by Gen. Wesley K. Clark, highlights the General's rise through the ranks to his eventual command of the 1.3 million troops in the 12th Army Group in Europe, the largest group of soldiers ever to serve under an American field commander. Alan Axelrod...takes useful time to characterize the interactions between Bradley and his counterparts...Axelrod explains how diverse influences made Bradley the efficient, straight-forward field general soldiers liked serving under.' - WWII Magazine     'Omar Bradley is far more than the 'GI General,' he was America's General, embodying those characteristics at the heart of the American-style of military leadership: selflessness, humility, adaptability, and above all, core values of integrity and respect that reflected the democracy he served. Axelrod's narrative highlights superbly how Bradley internalized these leadership principles and then infused them into our Army's culture in a legacy that persists to this day. Bradley tells the story of a military hero in the Army of a democracy-but the leadership lessons are universal, and they are timeless.' - Lieutenant General (Ret.) Daniel Christman, former Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point   'There could hardly be a better guide to the life and career of Omar Bradley, the least heralded and last of the Army's five-stars, than Alan Axelrod. Axelrod has all the knowledge and skill needed to fully assess Bradley's military contributions, as well as his relationships with Eisenhower and Patton, and deliver it in a concise, compelling biography sure to win a permanent spot on your bookshelves.' - Theodore Kinni, author of No Substitute
