Hirshson creates the most balanced\nportrait of Patton ever written.\nGeneral Patton: A Soldier’s Life reveals\nPatton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military maneuvers but also of\ninspiring horrendous acts with fiery speeches. It explains Patton’s belief in a\nsoldier’s Valhalla, connects the family’s wealth to one of America’s bitterest\nlabor strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Patton’s relief from\ncommand of the Third Army.\n\nWhile investigating this complex man, Hirshson has\nuncovered surprising material about a series of civilian and military massacres\nin Sicily, attempts to exploit Patton’s diary after his death, and Patton’s\nrelations with top Allied generals. In this meticulously documented volume,\nPatton comes to life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060009837\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0060009837.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hirshson, Stanley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
