A great plan, and a valiant effort. And for many Allied troops, a humongous SNAFU. So many heroes, and it was worth it. I don't always mark the day, but I think of it often.

Most of his early work, before he become a book factory like Michener, is absolutely great - especially the Eisenhower stuff.
