This is a great read!

I didn't buy this here, a friend gave it to me recently but it is so good I wanted to encourage others to buy it & read it. You won't put it down! It is written by one of Patton's men during WW2 so its a first hand account. Has good pics also. It shows the guts & grit of the man Patton as watched everyday by his men. He didn't shrink back from the front, he was bold & decisive, doing the job however possible with his battle acumen and innate sense of how the enemy thought. He was prescient & not much could stop him. I loved this book & didn't think I could admire Patton even more, but I do. A true American hero. A soldier's soldier, a leader of men, brave, courageous, strong and he had a stature & presence that men wanted to follow him into battle & win the war! And that they did!
