Description:Harry J. Collins was an American Army general best known for his command of the 42nd Infantry Division (the Rainbow Division), which played a crucial role in blunting the German assault in the Battle of the Bulge and in the liberation of Dachau, and for his benevolent role in the occupation of Austria after the war. General Collins was an outstanding member of a remarkable group of American commanders who helped to win World War II; unlike some of the more flamboyant commanders, he is now largely forgotten.

It is based on the reminiscences of those who knew him and—uniquely—includes excerpts from the general’s own notes that he kept throughout the war, and afterwards when he returned to Austria.
