The Quotable Army (Hardcover)


In THE QUOTABLE ARMY readers will find unsurpassed collections--500 quotes in each book--of the most memorable military quotes ever uttered or written.
Who can forget this gem from General George S. Patton addressing his troops? "You don't go into battle to die for your country, you go into battle to make the other bastard die for his country." Or this from Winston Churchill, "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." Or General Anthony McAuliffe's reply to the German demand that he surrender his surrounded and outnumbered troops at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge during World War II: "To the German commander: NUTS The American Commander."
Included in the scores of memorable personalities quoted in these two collections are such distinguished figures as President Dwight D. Eisenhower, President John F. Kennedy, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, General H. Norman Schwartzkopf, General Colin Powell, and many, many others.
