General Courtney Hodges; A Study in Invisibility; : Hodges, Patton, and the Perception of Greatness by
Stephen Wishnevsky
Courtney Hicks Hodges deserves recognition as one of the great American military leaders.
He was unique in United States military history as being the only man to rise from the rank of private to the rank of full general.
His career spanned forty-four years and took Hodges around the world.
Hodges served in the Philippines, participated in Pershing’s punitive expedition to Mexico, and fought in both World Wars. In spite of his distinguished career, he has been largely forgotten.
Review "If you are a George Patton hater you will love this book. Those of us that admire Patton know that Patton was Patton and we accept him as he was warts and all as a human being. This author constantly builds up Hodges to saintly levels and then constantly comes back with a sarcastic character assassination of Patton leaving out the whole story on incidences concerning Patton."
