The second volume highlights his and General Corlett’s roles in Operation Cobra, which broke through German lines. The final book chronicles Gen. Charles “Cowboy Pete” Corlett’s journey from a cowboy to a WWII leader. These volumes offer detailed, fresh insights into their leadership, using personal letters, scrapbooks, and oral histories, preserving important stories of courage and sacrifice.
