Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr., and Omar N. Bradley were undeniably three of the best-known United States Army generals during World War II. Their names have gone down in the annals of history as having led the Allies to victory in Europe. But WWII wasn't the first time these three men met. Decades before, they forged friendships and rivalries with one another that would influence their path to leadership. While at West Point, all three cadets were outstanding members of the academy's sports teams (now known as the Black Knights). This book delves into the complex relationships that existed between these former West Point 'Black Knights' and how they impacted the tide of WWII. It describes the tension that existed between these three competitive officers as each balanced personal career ambitions with the need to work with others, how each man understood the limitations of his fellow leaders, and how their friendships made them a stronger team.
