Greer, Gordon B. World in conflict: reflections on some aspects of the military history of World War II. New York: Writers Advantage, 2003, viii, 151pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Viewing the subject from the side of the Allies, the author reviews four major achievements in World War II which had unexpected and even more dramatic consequences not discovered until much after the event. He also deals with the evaluation of some weapons, tactics and statistics in ways that are at odds with much of the conventional wisdom as well as with statements of fact that in retrospect are much different than the facts themselves. Finally, he describes some items that, if they are considered at all, are not discussed with the seriousness they deserve. / Mr. Greer was born in Butler, Pennsylvania, and educated at PhillipsExeter Academy, Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He practiced law for 43 years and between college and law school served'as an aviator in the United States Air Force. 9780595264353 ISBN 0595264352.…
