Given a military force that on the eve of its entry into war was downright primitive compared to the European combatants, General John Pershing surmounted enormous obstacles to build an army and lead millions of U.S. soldiers during World War I. Yet Pershing himself-often considered a harsh and wooden leader-concealed much from those around him, including a personal tragedy so horrific that it threatened his very sanity. Drawing on a trove of little-known and newly uncovered letters and diaries, My Fellow Soldiers weaves Pershing's story with those of remarkable American men and women, known and unknown, including a young Harry Truman, George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, George Marshall, Teddy Roosevelt, and his son, Quentin. The result is an epic American saga in which the stakes of war are made piercingly real by the voices of extraordinary individuals.
