About the book
“The true story of the friendship-and rivalry-among the greatest American generals of World War II.”
“Brothers, Rivals, Victors” follows the fascinating friendships and rivalry of Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, General George S. Patton, and General Omar N. Bradley, who engineered the Allied Conquest that brought about the demise of Hitler’s hold over Europe. Jordan spent nearly two years researching unpublished interviews and diaries in preparation of the book which delves into the friendships of these three men which dated back decades prior to WWII, from their time together at West Point Military Academy. Adding an insider’s view are the firsthand accounts of generals, staff officers, secretaries, aides, politicians and wives.
“Brothers Rivals Victors is drawn from the candid accounts of its main characters, and strips away much of the public image of “Ike” (Eisenhower), the “G.I.’s General” (Bradley), and “Old Blood and Guts” (Patton) to reveal the men lurking beneath the legend.”
