Writes Charles M. Province of the General George S. Patton, Jr. Historical Society, A Damned Fine War is A Damned Fine Book! Patton did, indeed, have the intelligence, ability, and capacity for five-star rank.
Editorial Reviews:
Bill Yennes A Damned Fine War is an action-packed, Patton-size novel. This book, a classic battle between good and evil played out on an international stage, is fast moving and entertaining. Any person interested in history will be properly moved by the what-if scenarios involving victorious armies and men of history. A great read. I highly recommend it!
Brian Sobel, Author of The Fighting Pattons
I have always enjoyed counterfactual histories, but good ones are more than just entertainment. Alternative histories can make us think about what might have happened if things had turned out a little differently, and what the consequences would have been. Bill Yennes A Damned Fine War succeeds triumphantly on both accounts. It is an excellent read, and offers us some sobering might have beens.
