Hyper-critical for what?

Revisado: 02-01-09

It is really difficult to condemn the actions that lead to victory, but this author does nothing but in this disappointing book. While he grudgingly admits that dear "Monty" was difficult to get along with, the author is certain, like many other armchair generals in Great Britain that he should have been given command of the European Theatre in WWII. How do you spell Market Garden -- the mistaken strategy that wasted precious lives and time? His extensive criticism of Eisenhower, who held it all together and made it work in the ETO is tiresome and his research work was hardly extensive. He took bit after bit out of context to make his point from a limited number of authors. The fact remains unassailable that American generals won the war that the British could not even fight alone. Spotty research and bizarre chauvinism make this book far less about the Battle of the Bulge than a pro-Montgomery diatribe.
