The_Chieftain:   More you, I'm afraid. Cooper's book has been critiqued in the past by several entirely competent commentators. The big problem with Cooper is that he doesn't distinguish between facts, his observations, his opinions, and information he has no way of verifying, plus he apparently was writing his memoirs purely by memory. Not disrespecting the man or his service, but he's no historian. You would garner more respect by referencing more than one source, and preferably one which is not academically questionable.
