A Major Military Memoir by an American WWII General<
General Mark W. Clark was a major figure in World War II. He was prominent as one of the top American commanders. Together with Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar N. Bradley, and George S. Patton, Jr., Clark was widely regarded as being responsible for victory on the European side of the conflict. That view is true today, and it will stand for all time.

His book, entitled Calculated Risk and first published in 1950, is among the best accounts of the military events in which he participated and which he largely shaped. His narrative is exciting and accurate, reveals an insider’s knowledge, and is authoritative. It deals also with conditions continuing beyond his lifetime. Examples are the activities of guerrilla warriors and the command of multinational forces.
