Synopsis

General George S. Patton - Old Blood and Guts is the biography of General George S. Patton, a leading U.S. Army general in World War II in campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, France, and Germany (1943-1945). During World War I, Patton was a senior commander of the new tank corps and saw action in France. After the war he was an advocate of armored warfare but was reassigned to the cavalry. In World War II he commanded both corps and armies in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. The popular image of "Old Blood and Guts" contrasts with historians' image of a brilliant military leader whose record was stained by a lack of personal control and his outspoken behavior. General George S. Patton - Old Blood and Guts is highly recommended for those interested in the history and life of this controversial American army general.
