General Patton: a Soldier's Life

Hardcover, New York: Harpercollins, 2002. First Edition. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. This biography "reveals Patton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military maneuvers but also of inspiring his troops with fiery speeches that resulted in horrendous acts, such as the massacres of Italian civilians. It explains Patton's belief in a soldier's Valhalla, connects the family's wealth to one of America's bitterest labor strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Patton's relief from command of the Third Army."
