"One of the few in-depth studies available of Patton's
'generalship' . . . A fast-paced, thoughtful study of command at
the operational level, one written with the punch and pace of a
good novel, yet with enough combat detail to please military
students. This book is a must for World War II historians and
soldiers studying the operational art."
Required reading for scholars of World War II.
With its many lessons in leadership and operational art, this book
is well worth reading.
