Judgment of Units

Interprets the actions of the 90th Infantry Division by presenting several conflicting points of view. Portrayed by the CGSC as a "problem division" during its initial combat operations during World War II, it was thought to suffer from a lack of leadership and lack of proper training, and as a consequence, failed in its first three operations. The author does not seek to contradict instructional material from CGSC, but to support the thesis that reports alone are a poor judge of performance and that a true evaluation, checks must be made from within as well as without.
