George S. Patton was a colourful war leader and an eminently complex character; adored by some, but hated by others, he would lead the 3rd U.S. Army from Tunisia to the heart of Czechoslovakia. “Georgie,” the little guy from California, would go on to earn a reputation as a leader of men and become one of the most gifted and the most feared general officers of the Second World War, living only by and for the war. His fiery temper and legendary outbursts would get him in big trouble, but his personal archives have also shown that, under his hard-boiled shell – the one that his soldiers nicknamed Old Blood and Guts – was a cultured man, sensitive and deeply doubting himself. This book explores both sides of the military legend, through to his accidental death on 21st December, 1945.
