"It's a really big book to tackle, but worth it. The copy I read was about 832 pages. Took me about 2 years of off and on reading to get through it all. What kept me hooked was the way it was written. Almost like a novel, and still a history book at the same. This is the one of two books based on the movie by the same name (the other being Gen Omar N Bradley's "A Soldier's Story). The movie pulled some pages directly, but of course, like all movies based on books, gives the reader more in depth examination into Patton's life and missions. Covers his whole military life which is who the man was. The book can be an excellent reference for any student of WWII material because it is not just a biography of Patton, but of many events in the European theater. The invasion of North Africa, for instance, is something that is covered very little in any classroom, but yet an important first step in toppling Hitler's regime. This book also goes into Patton's early days to when he chose to go into the tank field for his military career."
"I became interested in General Patton after visiting his Museum and needed a book that would hold my interest. Not being a student of "war", I read reviews, chose this particular book, and am I ever glad I did! The author introduces you to this amazing human being as well as walks you through the man's life and through (some of WWI as well) WWII in an interesting and insightful way. My husband (an avid reader) knew how much I was enjoying this book and when I saw him stroking it tentatively, I hurried and bought him his own copy .... it is not a book to be hurried through as the details of the war are vivid and will make you really want to comprehend the depths of WWII."
