Moore, co-author of We Were Soldiers Once...And Young "Its modesty, its candor, and its insights into the nature of front-line leadership and the fears and behaviors of men in combat make this memoir a classic ranking with Charles MacDonald's Company Commander."--Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel "Dick Winters epitomizes the finest attributes of American citizen-soldiers....a poignant, riveting story with timeless application to the study of leadership in war."--Colonel Lance Betros, Chairman, Department of History, U.S. Military Academy, editor of West Point: Two Centuries and Beyond "Winters's leadership inspired his soldiers to fight courageously under the most difficult and challenging conditions of battle.
