This book should be listed more correctly under Mark Clark, Mark Wayne Clark, General Mark Clark or General Mark Wayne Clark. NOT Mark General Clark. In the forties and early fifties, Mark Clark was as famous as General as H. Norman Schwartzkof. Mark Clark was the best friend of Ike and was one of the great egos like Marine Generals Holland Smith and AA Vandergrift who are forgotten today because no movie like Patton or McArthur or Chesty were made for them. Clark was in charge of Africa and Italy and became the Governor General of Austria during the occupation. Although Ridgway replaced McArthur in Korea, it was the more senior Clark who was called on for the armistice. He never received a fifth star. Most probably because he was blamed for the heavy casualties he took at Anzio. I am too young to know. This is an excellent book. He also wrote "Calculated Risk." He was at Ike's bedside during the last days talking of the old days at West Point. He died in 1984 a couple miles from my home in Northwestern Michigan.
