Overview
In PATTON: A STUDY IN COMMAND, Herbert Essame examines each of Patton's major battles, their place in winning the war and the principles that guided Patton's strategies and decisions. In addition, the author compares Patton with his Allied colleagues, particularly Eisenhower and Montgomery, and concludes that he outclassed them "in imagination, technique, and achievement." The portrait painted is that of a man who possessed all of the requirements of generalship. It is probable that Patton would have been pleased with Essame's professional analysis of his operational role.Book Details
