520    Through the force of his personality and the headline-
       grabbing advance of his U.S. Third Army, General George S.
       Patton has eclipsed the other six men who, like him, led 
       field armies in the great Allied campaign to liberate 
       northwest Europe in 1944-45. This book presents a 
       masterful reassessment of the eleven-month struggle from D
       -Day to Germany's surrender, shedding long overdue light 
       on the contributions of these forgotten Allied field army 
       commanders. As the leader of an army of several hundred 
       thousand troops, each had to plan operations days and 
       weeks in advance, coordinate air support and assess 
       intelligence, give orders to corps commanders, manage a 
       staff of sometimes difficult subordinates, and deal with 
       superiors like Eisenhower, Bradley, and Montgomery. Some 
       performed less ably than the rest while others rivaled 
       Patton in their achievements. All are lifted from Patton's
       shadow in this book.
