Winds of History: The German Years of Lucius Dubignon Clay
Van Nostrand
1983
320 pp.
$25.50
An admiring and informative biographical study of General Clay as deputy and then military governor of the American Zone of Occupation in Germany, 1945-1949. Clay's incisive mind and administrative genius are convincingly portrayed, as is his deep disappointment over never, in a long career, having combat command. The author was a member of Clay's staff and has written extensively on the occupation.
