• W74959613 abstract "ONCE AN EAGLE by Anton Myrer and John W. Vessey. 832 pages. US Army War College Foundation Press, Carlisle, PA. 1997. $15.00. The US Army War College Foundation Press recently reprinted Once An Eagle-the book some have called America's War and Peace. Once an Eagle was first published in 1968 to wide critical acclaim. After the story appeared as a 1970s' 12hour television miniseries, the book returned to the New York Times best seller list and reached number one. It has been published in 19 languages. Once and Eagle is one of the most important military novels ever written. In its stark and realistic descriptions of men in combat, it ranks with Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front (Fawcett Books, New York, 1995) and Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage (Tor Books, New York, 1997). In its penetrating analysis of human and technical challenges and leadership and command's moral dilemmas, it is a fitting companion to Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny (Little Brown and Co., New York, 1992) and C.S. Forester's The General (The Nautical & Aviation Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1988). Once an Eagle is the story of Sam Damon, a Nebraska farm boy who wants to go to West Point but does not have the political connections necessary to gain an appointment. He enlists in the regular Army and serves in the 1916 Mexican border operation. Two years later, in France, he becomes an infantry squad leader and wins the Medal of Honor and a battlefield commission. At World War I's end, Damon, a major, must revert to the rank of first lieutenant to remain in the postwar Army. As a company grade officer, he survives through the long, lean interwar years, moving from post to dreary post in the American west and to overseas bases such as the Panama Canal Zone and the Philippines. Author Anton Myrer paints a sharp portrait of the Depression-era US Army. He accurately portrays the often-degrading conditions endured by soldiers' families, including those of George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr. and Omar Bradley, as the men honed their professional skills in preparation for the expected war. Throughout Damon's career, he is overshadowed by Courtney Massengale. Although Massengale does not have Damon's leadership skills or combat experience, he is seen as the epitome of the ambitious, poised and polished staff officer. Damon, continually dogged by his Mustang origins, resolutely defends enlisted soldiers and their interests during an era when enlisted soldiers were considered little more than unskilled laborers. Damon's critics, Massengale foremost among them, dismiss him as never having made the psychological shift from being a noncommissioned officer to being an officer. …" @default.
