PATTON AND HIS THIRD ARMY

A brilliant insight into the achievements of Patton * Written by one of Patton's staff officers * First published in 1946. Dwight Eisenhower once said of General George Patton, "He was one of those men born to be a soldier. whose gallantry and dramatic personality inspired all he commanded to deed of great valour." In this account of Patton and his Third Army, Wallace places Patton within the context of the army's operation and day-to-day movements as it roared through France, Luxembourg, and Germany. Wallace, Patton's former assistant chief of staff, draws his facts from stenographic records of daily staff meetings, and provides insights and details unavailable to other historians.
