...York, the train began to snowball. At each stop it picked up new carloads. By the end of the second day, it had more than tripled in size. The Friendship Train was not Chuck Luckman's idea.

He came home minus his right arm, sporting a rash of ribbons and a Patton commendation for "superior performance." No shrinking violet, Allen has let his publisher spread the commendation on the jacket of Lucky Forward, his raucous, truculent history of Patton's Third Army. In a not very roundabout way, the author is made to shine in the reflection of Patton...
