US General George Patton was a hard-nosed old soldier, nicknamed "Old Blood and Guts". He had the ability to inspire and instruct, but was not easily accommodated by those above or below him. This study shows his military tactics, his relationships with his subordinates and his superiors, and his status as a master planner, strategist, tactician and charismatic leader. In two major theatres he proved himself more than just a cavalier warrior. This book attempts to throw light on one of the most remarkable figures in military history.
