Winston Groom Turns the Spotlight on
AMERICA’S MOST CELEBRATED HEROES
Groom’s gifted storytelling
sends us soaring with three
brave daredevil pilots who
became American heroes
during the epic era of
flight—Eddie Rickenbacker,
Jimmy Doolittle, and
Charles Lindbergh.
“As Mr. Groom’s absorbing
narrative unfolds, we see
one man enduring a horren-
dous ordeal on the open sea; another nearly losing his life in
a bombing run; and yet another finding a sort of redemption
for his battered public image.”
—WALL STREET JOURNAL
Groom’s dramatic,
heartrending account
of the Civil War’s first
great battle “will stay
with you for a very long
time,” according to the
WASHINGTON POST.
“This thrilling narrative
account of Shiloh from
the best-selling author
of
Forrest Gump,
is a
vivid portrayal of key players and epic moments that
changed America’s understanding of the war.”
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pulitzer Prize–nominated author Winston Groom tells the intertwined
and uniquely American tales of George Patton, Douglas MacArthur,
and George Marshall—from the World War I battle that shaped them
to the World War II victory they sealed. Powerful, action-packed, filled
with suspenseful twists and turns, and set against the backdrop of the
most dramatic moments of the twentieth century, The
Generals 
reveals marvelous surprises and insights into the lives of these
three remarkable men-at-arms.
