Title: A Disappointment
Product review: In the 'Author's Note' Brigadier General Eisenhower says that "I have not attempted to give a rounded picture of the whole war,...."The General certainly was true to his word. A superfluous overview is given with a bias of a regular army officer in describing actions of RA units. Like John Pershing, BG Eisenhower exhibits a definite favoritism to the 1st Infantry Division. Were no other US divisions involved?Then again, the maps included are incomplete, leaving much to be desired. The most important map in the book on p.211 is flat out wrong!Finally BG Eisenhower mentions the effects of the Spanish Flu on German troops and the bout that Gen. Pershing suffered. He should have discussed the debilitating effects is had on US troops and the replacement system.Scout the used bookstores for Stallings' "The Doughboys." The reader would be better served.
