The heart-rending story of a German of liberal Jewish descent who was one of the last to escape to England under the Kindertransport scheme where he first made army uniforms, fire watching in London during the Blitz. Joining the army he fought his own countrymen in the Royal Tank Regiment. He describes his life in Germany under the Nazis, life in action with the Desert Rats as a wireless operator in a Firefly tank from the Normandy beaches to Hamburg, surviving the loss of four tanks on the way, and his life with the British and Russian occupation forces, in the devastated city of Berlin after the war.

And Then The Music Stopped Playing
McMurry does a great job of balancing criticism with affirmation for the general. He relies heavily on secondary sources but uses good primary sources, also.
His overall structure of the book is well crafted but not balanced in detail. He focuses almost completely on the Atlanta campaign. While it is true many documents do not survive to give the reader much insight on the beginnings of his life or maybe even the end, McMurry does not flesh out the end of his life or give second hand accounts of Hood's life. However, many accounts are given for the Atlanta campaign.
Overall, a better job assessing the character of the misunderstood Gen. John B. Hood than prior historians. Yet leaves the reader grasping for details in other parts of Hood's life than just the Atlanta Campaign.
