4634. My Experiences in the World War Volume I, by John J. Pershing (read 26 Oct 2009) This first volume of the History Pulitzer Prize winner for 1932 turns out to be very readable and is a straight-forward workmanlike account of Pershing's time from May 1917 when he was named commander-in-chief of the A.E.F up to April 1918. He does a good job showing what an extraordinarily tough job he had, and one is struck anew how close the Allies came to losing World War I. One is convinced they would have lost except that the U.S. entered. I am looking forward to the account of the time in the next volume when the war proceeds to victory. ( )
