摘要:At first glance, Buyw of 57appears to be a rousing text. somewhat akin in spirit to Stephen Aumbrose's Brand of Brothers or James Kitfield's Pnudigal Soldirrs after all. the cover boasts a positive review fromRick Atkinson, author of the Pulizer-prize-winning work An Arny al Daum. It also contains a respect-able foreword by ien Anthony Zinni, former com-mander of United States Central Command and one of the most respected military leaders in recent history. Thusly prepared, one expects a motivating text that both educates and inspires. Unfortunately.this is not the case.
