Overview
Captain Joseph Turner Dawson was an infantry company commander with the US Army's First Infantry Division and was involved in the invasion of North Africa, the Normandy landings, and the push into Germany during World War II. Considering Dawson as a case study for the development of military leadership, Kingseed (a former history professor and chief of military history at the US Military Academy at West Point) intersperses extracts from Dawson's combat journals and wartime correspondence with analytical comments on Dawson's development as an officer.
