Feuding Allies: The Private Wars of the High Command
Edison, NJ Castle Books 2007 0785822550 / 9780785822554 Hard Cover Fine Fine
x, 341 pp., illus., biblio., index; 25 cm. First published, Wiley, 1995. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "It was an historic alliance between nations at war determined to defeat the Axis armies. But behind the facade of solidarity, other conflicts raged. Driven to halt the forces that had overrun Europe, Asia, and Africa, the British and the Americans argued over every command and strategy, neither side trusted the Soviets, and the French griped incessantly. William B. Breuer's dramatic behind-the-scenes narrative reveals for the first time the full extent of the internal conflict that ripped through the high command. British commanders thought the Americans too anxious to open a western front in Europe--to prove the point they gave the go-ahead to a suicidal assault on France. American commanders believed the British were stalling for time to bleed the Soviets to improve England's position in postwar Europe. General Douglas MacArthur, whose war in the Pacific took a backseat under the "Germany first" strategy, had bitter differences of opinion with almost everyone in the U.S. command, particularly the navy admirals he had to fight alongside. Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the British commander of Allied ground forces, was roundly de-spised by the American generals for his haughty self-righteous attitude and cautious approach. And General Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied troops, faced the near-impossible task of assuaging the enormous egos of the Allied military and government leaders, keeping the coalition together, and at the same time, winning the war. Feuding Allies is a gripping story of wrangling, backstabbing, rivalries, and jealousies. This fast-paced account sheds new light on the most charismatic and renowned figures of World War II--Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, de Gaulle, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, and Montgomery--and reveals just how high passions ran on the road to victory. / WILLIAM B. BREUER is one of today's most popular military historians and the critically acclaimed author of twenty-two books. Some of his previous titles include MacArthur's Undercover War and The Great Raid on Cabanatuan (both published by Wiley), Hoodwinking Hitler: The Normandy Deception, and Race to the Moon: How Hitler's Rocket Scientists Put America on the Moon." - Publisher.

MacArthur's Undercover War: Spies, Saboteurs, Guerrillas, and Secret Missions
Edison, NJ Castle Books 2005 0785820485 / 9780785820482 Hard Cover Fine Fine
xii, 257 pp., [16] pp. of plates, illus., maps, bib. notes, index; 24 cm. First published, 1995. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "The covert war General Douglas MacArthur waged against Japanese forces in the Pacific arena was the largest undercover operation ever undertaken. Here, for the first time, is the complete story of the legendary exploits and heroism of the thousands of courageous individuals who fought as spies, guerrillas, propagandists, and saboteurs behind enemy lines. When the Japanese war juggernaut overran the Philippines, it took a near miraculous PT-boat escape for MacArthur to make his way to safety in Australia. He left behind a force of seventy thousand American and Philippine troops marooned on the Bataan Peninsula. To these brave men the general vowed, 'I shall return.' Against overwhelming odds, MacArthur succeeded. Crucial to his success was his massive covert war effort. MacArthur created his own undercover warfare agency, the super-secret Allied Intelligence Bureau (AIB), to organize the many far-flung resistance groups ... In an action-packed narrative, MacArthur's Undercover War tells of thrilling feats of valor and derring-do--impossible missions to blow up harbors, kidnap heads of state, undermine currency, and arrange prison escapes, all deep within enemy territory. Firsthand interviews with veterans and information from previously unpublished documents reveal a riveting tale of World War II that has never been fully told. / WILLIAM B. BREUER is one of today's most popular military historians and the critically acclaimed author of twenty-one books. Some of his previous titles include The Great Raid on Cabanatuan, Hoodwinking Hitler: The Normandy Deception, Race to the Moon: How Hitler's Rocket Scientists Put America on the Moon, and Geronimo: American Paratroopers in World War II." - Publisher.
