Gen. George S. Patton was one of the most tenacious, unstoppable players in the United States' European Campaign of World War II. Few know that beneath his tough and sometimes controversial public image was a man of complexity who competed as an Olympic athlete and wrote poetry.
The contemplative side of this dynamic man is displayed in this collection of poems, journal entries, quotations, and speeches. This in-depth journey through the mind of a truly remarkable American is accompanied by period photographs, and reveals new dimensions of the renowned commander.
