i was on the johns hopkins university site in sicily looking at the american campaign at sicily in 1943. the grad student talking about terry allen mentioned rather casually at the end of his talk and after the battle was over and the campaign was one, omar bradley fired terry allen. my job dropped. i just come out of iraq where no one got fired. when mediocrity was our goal. and instead i hear about the army firing one of our most effective division commanders in europe our first year in the war. and naturally the threat that began, the book for me, going back and studying this. bob took me inside one day and said we need more about george marshall. a couple years later i'm in the archives, i immersed myself into the marshall papers. really came to admire the guy. i don't think he was a likable guy. the other hero of the book is eisenhower. i think eisenhower is underrated. the job of managing the allies, of dealing with the british, the french -- >> montgomery was -- >> montgomery is a piece of work. at one point -- montgomery won't come see marshall, so september 10, 1944, i'm sorry,
