"This book was recommended to me by one of the numerous "without home" Key West locals. I picked it up because he was well spoken and provided an interesting review of Patton's exploits and narrative tone. At first, I was quite interested; however, my attention waned once military tactics and maneuvers replaced local assessment and pith. I gave up reading during the counter-offensive to The Bulge.
Military history does not interest me. People and characters interest me. All war does is end characters and people."
