Jonathan W. Jordan is the author of American Warlords: How Roosevelt's High Command Led America to Victory in World War II and the award-winning Lone Star Navy: Texas, the Fight for the Gulf of Mexico, and the Shaping of the American West. He lives in Georgia.
“Bradley, Eisenhower, and Patton had one thing, above all else, in
common: their willingness to give every last measure in the service
of their country. Jordan’s book, while a rollicking good read,
succeeds brilliantly in reminding us of this dedication, and of how
fortunate the Allies were to have such exceptional soldiers leading
the long, bloody march to victory.”—Alex Kershaw, World War
II magazine
“Anybody who believes that generals are just, rational men, imbued
with a soldierly feeling of comradeship toward one another and an
ingrained respect for their political superiors, will be shocked by
this book.”—Michael Korda, The New York Times Book Review
“A masterly, exciting study of character and tactics in World War
II.”—Kirkus, starred review
“This is an exceptional book…. Jordan has produced what is in many
ways a paragon of modern biographies…. A must-have for any shelf of
serious leadership texts.”—Naval War College Review
“Jonathan W. Jordan’s Brothers, Rivals, Victors is a landmark
publication in the history of the Second World War.”—Douglas
Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of The Boys of Pointe
du Hoc
“One of the great stories of the American military, of how Patton,
Eisenhower and Bradley, three very different men, came together to
change the world. It is told here by Jonathan Jordan with insight
and compassion, relish and vigor. I read it in two
sittings.”—Thomas E. Ricks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The
Generals
“Jonathan W. Jordan has pulled off a mission impossible: He has
produced a groundbreaking study that transforms our understanding
of all three men…This book should be required reading at West Point
and all other military academies. It is beautifully written and a
classic work of popular biography and military history for the
general reader. It is a pleasure to recommend it.”—The Washington
Times
“An intimate, well-researched and gracefully-written portrait of
three important generals—Jordan succeeds in bringing Patton, Brad
and Ike to life once again. Brothers, Rivals, Victors is full of
fresh insight and compelling drama. You will have trouble putting
this book down.”—John C. McManus, Author of The Dead and Those
About to Die
“Jordan’s work will put the war into a new perspective for many
readers—a must-read for anyone interested in World War II, or who
wants to know something about how command decisions are actually
made.” —Jim DeFelice, Author of Omar Bradley: General at
War and Coauthor of American Sniper
