Patton
This magnificent biography by the world's foremost expert on the life of George S. Patton portrays the many faces of the general with uncompromising insight: the gruff, demanding public front known (and feared) by millions; the sensitive, intellectual visage shown to intimates; and the self-conscious, emotional, religious man only a handful of people ever met. Martin Blumenson deftly explores the life of this American hero, a paradoxical man who inspired others to greatness but who sometimes questioned the greatness within himself.Illustrated with 64 photographs, many from the Patton family archives, Patton: The Man Behind the Legend, 1885-1945 is a dramatic and memorable portrait of a complex American hero, a man called the greatest combat general of modern times.Author: Martin BlumensonPublisher: William Morrow & CompanyPublished: 11/29/1994Pages: 320Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.88lbsSize: 9.25h x 6.11w x 0.88dISBN: 9780688137953
