Forrest Pogue (19121996) Was Undoubtedly One Of The Greatest World War Ii Combat Historians. Born And Educated In Kentucky, He Is Perhaps Best Known For His Definitive Fourvolume Biography Of General George C. Marshall. But, As Pogues War Makes Clear, He Was Also A Pioneer In The Development Of Oral History In The Twentieth Century, As Well As An Impressive Interviewer With An Ability To Relate To People At All Levels, From The Private In The Trenches To The General Carrying Four Stars.Pogues War Is Drawn From Forrest Pogues Handwritten Pocket Notebooks, Carried With Him Throughout The War, Long Regarded As Unreadable Because Of His Often Atrocious Handwriting. Pogue Himself Began Expanding The Diaries A Few Short Years After The War, With The Intent Of Eventual Publication. At Last This Work Is Being Published. Supplemented With Carefully Deciphered And Transcribed Selections From His Diaries, The Heart Of The Book Is Straight From The Field. Much Of The Material Has Ever Before Seen Print.From Dday To Veday, Pogue Experienced And Documented Combat On The Front Lines, Describing Action On Omaha Beach, In The Huertgen Forest, And On Other Infamous Fields Of Conflict. He Not Only Graphicallyyet Also Often Poeticallyrecounts The Extreme Circumstances Of Battle, But He Also Notes His Fellow Soldiers Innermost Thoughts, Feelings, Opinions, And Attitudes About The Cruelty Of War.As A Trained Historian, Pogue Describes How He Went About His Work And How The Armys History Program Functioned In The European Theater Of Operations. His Entries From His Time At The History Headquarters In Paris Show The City In The Early Days After The Liberation In A Unique Light.Pogues War Has An Immediacy That Much Official History Lacks, And Is A Remarkable And Noteworthy Addition To Any World War Ii Bookshelf.
