Partners in Command

American battle doctrine - win by defeating armed forces, not by occupying territory.
Direct attack favored by US, vs. “nibbling at the edges” favored by Churchill.
UK, US commanders despised each other.
even US commanders despised each other! (e.g. Bradley, Clark)
DE and GM got along so well professionally because both understood Fox Connor - “never fight unless you have to, never fight for long, and never fight alone.” The politics of the Alliance were as important during the war as after - Marshall Plan and NATO a continuation of the same strategy.
Couldn't have won WWII without both men in place.
