Patton's War: The General Who Saw It Coming (Ebook)

The commander history can't stop arguing about

George S. Patton Jr. led the fastest army of the Second World War, then nearly threw it all away slapping two soldiers in Sicily. He built the only intelligence team that saw the Battle of the Bulge coming, then sent 300 men on a doomed raid behind German lines, where his own son-in-law was a prisoner.

Patton's War tells his entire war in twelve chapters. No hagiography, no hit-piece: the decisions that changed Europe, and the ones that still divide historians eighty years on.
