The most complete biography of [Patton] yet produced. -Chicago TribuneUtilizing untapped archival materials from the United States and England, Stanley P. Hirshson creates the most balanced portrait of Patton ever written.General Patton: A Soldiers Life reveals Patton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military maneuvers but also of inspiring horrendous acts with fiery speeches. It explains Pattons belief in a soldiers Valhalla, connects the familys wealth to one of Americas bitterest labor strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Pattons relief from command of the Third Army.While investigating this complex man, Hirshson has uncovered surprising material about a series of civilian and military massacres in Sicily, attempts to exploit Pattons diary after his death, and Pattons relations with top Allied generals. In this meticulously documented volume, Patton comes to life.
