Why Patton & Eisenhower Despised This Man

The man who kept D-Day's armies moving — and nearly brought the whole Allied campaign to a halt. General John C.H. Lee commanded more troops than Patton, controlled more resources than Bradley, and never fired a single shot at the enemy. He built the legendary Red Ball Express — 6,000 trucks rolling through the night to keep the Allied advance alive. Then he made a decision that enraged every frontline general in Europe and forced Eisenhower into an impossible choice: fire the man running the entire supply operation in the middle of a war, or keep him and absorb the consequences. This is the story of the most powerful general you've never heard of — and the commander who decided he was too valuable to lose.
