Reviews
Jeffers (Onward We Charge), a former broadcast journalist and prolific author, chronicles the career of one of the forgotten heroes of WWII in this informative and sprightly popular biography. Born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma, Lucian Truscott (1895–1965) joined the army when war was declared in 1917, and though he spent the war on the Mexican border as a second lieutenant with the 17th Cavalry, he remained in the postwar army, acquiring a reputation as a hell-raising cavalryman. He also was a prime mover in turning the postwar horse cavalry into a mechanized force. After Pearl Harbor, Truscott went to England, where he set up an American-style commando unit, the First Ranger Battalion. He served as General Patton's deputy for the invasion of North Africa, and as a commander in the invasions of Sicily and Anzio. Since most of his wartime service was in Italy—the forgotten front—and the unpretentious General Truscott didn't seek attention, his crucial role in the Allied victory has been overshadowed by others. Students of military history will welcome this first—and long overdue—biography. (June 3)
