New York, NY: Berkley Books, 1982. The end of WW II found him at the height of his glory, his tanks poised for more of the lightning thrusts that made him a legend. A year later America's greatest military hero was gone...his victories downplayed by the top brass, his life closed in an accident that is still a subject of controversy today. Ladislas Farago is Patton's supreme biographer. Patton did a horrible job after the fighting was over.
