<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Army from the horse brigades of the 1930s to the high-tech military force of today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>General Creighton Abrams has been called the greatest American general since Ulysses S. Grant, yet at the time this book was first published in 1992, he was little known by most Americans. For more than four decades, in three wars and in challenging peacetime assignments, Abrams demonstrated the skill, courage, integrity, and compassion that made him a legend in his profession. <i>Thunderbolt</i> is the definitive biography of the man who commanded U.S. forces in Vietnam during the withdrawal stage and for whom the army's main battle tank is named. With a new introduction by the author, this edition places the complex and sophisticated Abrams and his many achievements in the context of the army he served and ultimately led, and of the national and international events in which he played a vital role. <i>Thunderbolt</i> is a stirring portrait of the quintessential soldier and of the transformation of the U.S. Army from the horse brigades of the 1930s to the high-tech military force of today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A valuable addition to the Vietnam bookshelf.</p>-- "New York Times"<br><br><p>This book is a must for anyone wishing to understand the U.S. Army of today.July 2009</p>-- "Military"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Lewis Sorley, a third-generation graduate of West Point, served in Vietnam, in NATO forces, and as a Pentagon staff officer.
