Reseña del libro "Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory (en Inglés)"

Can War Create a Man? Myths. Men. Legends. George S. Patton. John J. Pershing. Pancho Villa. Three larger-than-life figures thrown together in a dusty corner of overlooked history known as the Mexican Punitive Expedition. It is nothing less than the end of an era. Patton-a junior cavalry officer years before he becomes the war hero tank commander so famously portrayed by George C. Scott-confronts the new realities of twentieth-century warfare. The traditional cavalry missions of reconnaissance and communications are being taken over by the Army's fledgling air service and the promise of wireless communications. Modern ballistics render the saber-and the horse cavalry itself-obsolete as a fighting force. The prospects for the glorious martial career Patton has been bred for seem all but lost... until the venerable horse soldiers are called out for one one last fight.General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing recognizes young Patton's frustration and knows the army is ill-prepared for the conflict brewing in Europe. It will need officers of Patton's stripe. He takes the lieutenant under his wing and mentors him with the assurance "time and invention" will lead him to new purpose. It is the turning point that saves Patton's military career, and a bond that will leave a lasting imprint on American military history.Exhaustively-researched and packed with action, Will Rogers Medallion-winning author Paul Colt brings his story to life with the gritty authenticity of a master storyteller. Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory is a triump that will stay with you long after the bugler calls retreat.
