Reviews
"The most complete biography of [Patton] yet produced." -- Chicago Tribune "A fuller, more detailed study of Patton than what has come before, thanks in part to Hirshson's exhaustive research of overlooked, forgotten archival material and newly available Patton family papers." -- Joseph L. Galloway, Los Angeles Times "Hirshson skillfully intertwines the Patton family story with that of the general's professional life." -- Washington Post Book World "Hirshson does a fine job of capturing George S. Patton's contradictions and the decidedly unpleasant aspects of his character, both correcting and amplifying the work of earlier, often worshipful biographers. . . . Readers who keep at this long, dense biography will see that Hirshson treats Patton's very real accomplishments on the battlefield with great respect. After all, the general who seized more enemy-held territory than any other at tremendous cost to the foe deserves his reputation as a strategist to rival Napolean. . .or Genghis Kahn." -- Kirkus Reviews "Hirshson's exhaustively researched and well-written biography presents a balanced view of Patton's life from every angle. . . .The best biography of Patton to date, this will most likely become the definitive work on his life." -- Publishers Weekly "[Hirshson] gives new perspective to Patton's abundant contradictions--his unique mix of bluster and brilliance, hubris and kindness, fierce loyalties and fiercer prejudices....Exhaustively researched and cleanly written, this should become the definitive Patton biography." -- Navy Times "Using new archival evidence, Hirshson offers the most complete look yet at the enigmatic warrior-poet." -- U.S. News & World Report "Of all the World War II generals, "Blood and Guts Patton" was the most controversial and remains so to this day, hated by some and loved by others." -- New York Newsday

Synopsis
General George S. Patton Jr, an inspirational leader and outstanding tactician, has intrigued and confounded his biographers. Utilising untapped archival materials in both the USA and UK, government documents, family papers, and oral histories, Hirshson creates the most balanced portrait of Patton ever written. It reveals Patton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military manoeuvres but also of inspiring his troops with fiery speeches that resulted in horrendous acts, such as the massacres of Italian civilians. It explains Pattons belief in a soldiers Valhalla, connects the familys wealth to one of Americas bitterest labour strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Pattons relief from command of the Third Army. In investigating this complex man, Hirshson has uncovered surprising material about a series of civilian massacres in Sicily, about the two slapping incidents, about attempts to exploit Pattons diary after his death, and about Pattons relations with top Allied generals. Patton emerges as a soldier of great imagination and courage, and his military campaigns make for edge-of-the-seat reading. All the drama of Pattons life comes alive in this meticulously documented volume., "The most complete biography of [Patton] yet produced." -Chicago Tribune Utilizing untapped archival materials from the United States and England, Stanley P.
