Eisenhower and Omar Bradley instantly come to mind. As important as these central figures were to the Second World War, the conflict produced equally effective lower-profile leaders whose influence had an undeniable impact. Among these leaders are William Simpson, commander of the US Ninth Army, and James Moore, his chief of staff. Working in tandem, the pair helmed a unit that gained recognition as "uncommonly normal," an affectionate designation driven by their steadfast professionalism in all endeavors. It was their unobtrusive leadership style that relegated these career military men to the footnotes of military history. Commanding Professionalism: Simpson, Moore, and the Ninth US Army corrects this historical oversight by examining the achievements of these overlooked heroes. Focusing on Simpson and Moore's careers from 1940 through the end of World War II, author William Stuart Nance recounts the pair's working relationship. Together, they successfully maneuvered through the squabbling of the American and British forces and developed an army admired for its consistency of conduct and military prowess, capable of resisting the complex external and political machinations of the time. Simpson and Moore's unflinching devotion to the greater good and their steady handle on the dynamics of command/staff relationships proved essential to the war effort and its ultimate success. Their example, Nance argues, remains aspirational and worthy of emulation in the military command structure of today"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1518944</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1518944</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nance, William Stuart]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1518944086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Simpson, Moore, and the Ninth US Army</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780813198231/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Team America]]></title><description><![CDATA[An acclaimed military historian presents this powerful history of four military leaders--Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, George Marshall and Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower--who exhibited unparalleled military leadership that led the U.S. victoriously through two World Wars.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1459249</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1459249</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Connell, Robert L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1459249086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, Eisenhower, and the World They Forged</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062883322/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Team America]]></title><description><![CDATA[An acclaimed military historian presents this powerful history of four military leaders--Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, George Marshall and Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower--who exhibited unparalleled military leadership that led the U.S. victoriously through two World Wars.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1452351</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1452351</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Connell, Robert L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1452351086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, Eisenhower, and the World They Forged</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062883292/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grant's Victory]]></title><description><![CDATA["Two of the great themes of the Civil War are how Lincoln found his war-winning general in Ulysses Grant and how Grant finally defeated Lee. Grant's Victory intertwines these two threads in a grand narrative that shows how Grant made the difference in the war. At Eastern theater battlefields from Bull Run to Gettysburg, Union commanders-whom Lincoln replaced after virtually every major battle-had struggled to best Lee, either suffering embarrassing defeat or failing to follow up success. Meanwhile, in the West, Grant had been refining his art of war at places like Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, and in early 1864, Lincoln made him general-in-chief. Arriving in the East almost deus ex machina, and immediately recognizing what his predecessors never could, Grant pressed Lee in nearly continuous battle for the next eleven months-a series of battles and sieges that ended at Appomattox"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1317177</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1317177</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brager, Bruce L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1317177086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Ulysses S.

Roosevelt proved himself a master manipulator of Congress, the press, and the public. But when war in Europe and Asia threatened Americas shores, FDR found himself in a world turned upside down, where his friends became his foes, his enemies his allies. To help wage democracys first total war, he turned to one of historys most remarkable triumvirates.Henry Stimson, an old-money Republican from Long Island, rallied to FDRs banner to lead the Army as Secretary of War, and championed innovative weapons that shape our world today. General George C. Marshall argued with Roosevelt over grand strategy, but he built the worlds greatest war machine and willingly sacrificed his dream of leading the invasion of Europe that made his proťǧ, Dwight Eisenhower, a legend. Admiral Ernest J. King, a hard-drinking, irascible fighter who destroyed Pearl Harbor in a prewar naval exercise, understood how to fight Japan, but he also battled the Army, the Air Force, Douglas MacArthur, and his British allies as they moved armies and fleets across the globe.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1126223</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1126223</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jordan, Jonathan W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1126223086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Roosevelt&apos;s High Command Led America to Victory in World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780451414571/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[American Warlords]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1127228</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1127228</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jordan, Jonathan W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1127228086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How Roosevelt&apos;s High Command Led America to Victory in World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780698144347/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Generals]]></title><description><![CDATA[An epic history of the decline of American military leadership from World War II to Iraq.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1038764</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1038764</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ricks, Thomas E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1038764086</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>American Military Command From World War II to Today</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781470817299/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victors in Blue]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C987826</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C987826</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Castel, Albert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/987826086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Union Generals Fought the Confederates, Battled Each Other, and Won the Civil War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780700617937/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guerrilla Leader]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C987841</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C987841</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Schneider, James J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/987841086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>T.
