General Patton has been a hero of mine for forty years, and this book still uncovered facts unknown to me.

I highly recommend this book to any teen, male or female, who expresses any interest in military matters. Further, the life practices and determination to succeed embodied by General Patton should inspire any teen. I would hope so, anyway.

Extremely vivid. I like it. Warning. General Patton was into swearing. A lot of swearing!!! Do not read if allergic to death, because he dies toward the end.

Parent note: this book fed my 6th-grader's intense interest in all things WWII tank warfare. He has read the book three or four times already, and walks around quoting Patton and describing situations in his life. 185 pages, vocabulary includes: casual, corridor, event, disciplined, dire, omniscient, assault, etc. Good index. One map, one photograph.

This is the best biography that I have ever read. I have read dozens of biographies, but they pale in comparison to this one. This is one of the biographies out there today that hasn't been made "politically correct". Every experience in the book has been confirmed by family, friends, and fellow servicemen who operated with him. This book illustrates Patton, the man, not just a bunch of facts and dates. He was such a colourful character, that to leave out his less "important" experiences would be shameful. The author also shows his life as a son, a brother, a friend, and father as well as a brilliant military mind. This is a book written so that high school students, as well as adults can understand and enjoy the subject. However, I don't suggest this book for those under 13. As most people know, Patton had quite a vocabulary (swore like a sailor)which is not held back in any quotes.

Not recommended for adults. As a student of General Patton, this was disappointing in it's accuracy. But it would be a good introduction or overview for children. It shows the patriotic, good and decent side of General Patton very well and that is good for all.
