War As I Knew It: The Battle Memoirs of "Blood 'N Guts"

War As I Knew It: The Battle Memoirs of "Blood 'N Guts"

From the invasion of Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton, Jr., was the most flamboyant, audacious Allied leader of World War II. Brandishing his famous pearl-handled pistols and driven by a profound belief that wars are won by killing the enemy as fast as possible, Patton slammed the tanks and men of the Third Army across Europe at a breakneck pace. He battled not only the enemy but Supreme Headquarters; he complained SHAEF was doing all it could to deny him early victory.

Now in these fascinating and frank memoirs, Patton speaks out with intense personal feelings about the Second World War, the art of war, and the soldierâ€™s life. He gives us an unforgettable self-portrait of an American professional soldier caught in the toils of war.
