Dogface Soldier: The Life of General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr.

摘要

Undoubtedly, General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr., has earned his place in American history, and his leadership style and skills are relevant and needed today. Dr. Heefher achieves his end with Dogface Soldier by creating a work that organizes and presents the evidence necessary to earn General Truscott the place in history that he deserves. The stylistic weakness of the book, particularly the lack of passion and energy, may delay the speed at which this evidence reaches a general audience, but Dr. Heemer's meticulous research and clinical compilation of the facts has fixed the "miscarriage of history" for this forgotten American hero by creating an accurate record of his service. Now all that stands between General Truscott becoming a title character in the American psyche is a screenplay and an actor of George C. Scott's caliber.
