| Summary |
"Patton is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses...Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in unstoppable campaigns across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as 'Patton' shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was the one enemy he could never defeat"--Container |
