Civil War Eyewitnesses: An Annotated Bibliography of Books and Articles, 1986-1996 Book

So far, it's nothing special, which is about what I expected as a memoir. He covers his WW2 service surprisingly quickly, to me, and spends a good half of the book covering his efforts in and around Vietnam.

What did stand out, to me, was the silence about the Pentomic Division. {Enter esoteric military mode}. Taylor mentions that he had the idea for the five-battlegroup division while he was commanding general of the Eighth Army at the end of, and after the Korean War's armistice. Later, when he is the Army's Chief of Staff, he only refers to the name "Pentomic" as an effort to make it seem more gee-whiz for the New look defense policy. Not a word about it again, except to mention a reorganization of divisions after 1961. Gee, do you think it flopped? {Exit trivial mode}
