Thunderbolt: General Creighton Abrams and the Army of His Time

Simon & Schuster, 1992

Finest Kind
GEN Abrams was responsible for the quality of the Army today and since he was the Chief of Staff. His wisdom and insight into soldiering, leadership, and combat ability is what won the Gulf War. Dr. Sorley is right on the money. It is obvious that Dr. Sorley really admires GEN Abrams and he has done his homework. It's a shame that GEN Abrams died so early, he tranformed the United States Army ...

Vietnam Chronicles: The Abrams Tapes, 1968-1972 (Modern Southeast Asia Series)

10 reviews

Texas Tech University Press, 2004

Huge contribution to our understanding of the Vietnam War
Vietnam is still an amazingly painful topic for many people.

Abrams effectively won the war despite a dwindling pool ...

Sorley has done a magnificient job of research and reporting on the life of the most dedicated American military leader in recent history. General Johnson was a unique man, humbled by his roots, molded by his ...

McGraw-Hill Primis Custom Publishing, 2008

A universal value revealed
While West Pointers will find this book close to their hearts and memories, it promises just as much revelation--perhaps even more--to scholars and soldiers interested in the classical concept of honor. Those who use the term loosely are in for an education, if they dare to pick it up.
