Reviews
"Because of the leadership and historical insights provided in this book, it is definitely worth a read for scholars and students of leadership and history."-- Military History, "This is a fascinating book about a larger-than-life American soldier, Lt. Gen. James F. Hollingsworth."-- The Journal of America's Military Past, "Jim Willbanks' superbly written, extensively researched book on Lt. Gen. James F. "Holly" Hollingsworth--known by his radio call sign "Danger Seven-Niner"--shows readers why Holly is one of only three Texas A&M heroes with statues on the university's College Station campus."-- Vietnam

Synopsis
In Danger 79er , historian James H. Willbanks tells the remarkable story of Lt. Gen. James F. Hollingsworth, a three-time recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross along with four Silver Stars, six Purple Hearts, and a host of additional medals and commendations. His career spanned wars both cold and hot, and throughout, "Holly" was a hard-charging, hands-on soldier who could be irreverent and brash but always "led from the front." Hollingsworth entered the US Army as a second lieutenant upon graduation from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University). In World War II, while leading tanks in Gen. George S. Patton's Third Army, Hollingsworth encountered dug-in German defenders. He lined up his thirty-four tanks and issued a command rarely heard in modern warfare: Charge! Patton later recognized Hollingsworth as one of the two best armored battalion commanders in the war. Twenty years later, Hollingsworth served in Vietnam, where he became identified by the radio call-sign of "Danger 79er," a designation that remained for the duration of his career. He later served in South Korea commanding I Corps (ROK/US) Group, the largest combined field army in the world. Even after retirement from active duty, Hollingsworth continued to serve as a military adviser during the Cold War. Danger 79er provides a compelling and inspiring read as it recounts the exciting story of one of the most decorated soldiers in the history of the US Army., In Danger 79er , historian James H.

    A well writen bio of a great soldier.

    This was a book about someone I knew personally. The facts, during the period that I knew about, were exactly right so I will assume that the rest of the research was also accurate. It was well written and the research, that was all documented, was huge. As bios go it went from birth to grave and contained fact after fact that was not well known about a person that was extremely well known in military circles. It was just what I wanted, and expected.
