Monday Evening Book Reviews
Terry Brighton does wonders with research and delivers PATTON, MONTGOMERY, ROMMEL: MASTERS OF WAR.
HALF BROKE HORSES: A TRUE-LIFE NOVEL, by Jeanette Walls, comes recommended in Illinois.
I was surprised to read a description in this review that included this - “instructive and gender neutral” - when learning of Marilyn Murray Willison’s THE SELF-EMPOWERED WOMAN: 17 CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH ACHIEVERS. Make of it what you will.
Sugar Ray Robinson finally gets a decent biography, according to reviewer Henry C. Jackson, in SWEET THUNDER by Wil Haygood.

I’m glad to see Montgomery portrayed as the weasel he was. For many years he had a very effective coterie of propagandists on his behalf.
