The Private Life of General Omar N. Bradley (Paperback)

The life and achievements of General Omar Nelson Bradley are
legendary. During World War II, the five-star general was
instrumental in the D-Day invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. But
his private life has always lain just outside the reach of the
media. Bradley has long been portrayed as a soft-spoken gentleman.
This media-driven stereotype has pushed him aside in America's
collective memory, which more readily recalls flamboyant leaders
such as Patton, Eisenhower or George C. Marshall. This book
re-examines the prevailing view of Bradley through a reading of
unpublished sources and letters, paying special attention to his
relationship with his second wife Kitty Buhler and his later years
(1951-1981), a period largely ignored by previous research.
Bradley's life was far from boring. Behind closed doors were trysts
with Hollywood starlets, a penchant for gambling at the horse track
and hobnobbing with high-profile stars, writers and political
leaders.
