Review

“[A] brief and engaging life of General George S. Patton.”–The Journal of Military History

Product Description

When many Americans think of George S. Patton, they conjure the image of George C. Scott. Yet the movie could only tell a compressed version of Patton's remarkable life. This book presents the full complexity of one of America's most famous generals. A thorough bibliography of print and electronic sources and a timeline that plots key events in Patton's life and career complete the book.

By A Customer

This book is a concise and thorough overview of one of America's most studied and discussed generals. Mr. Smith has seemingly brought Gen. Patton back to life with his vivid descriptions and page turning narrative. Kudos to Mr. Smith for his unbiased approach to his subject. This is a great book.
