This book presents a unique view of a military family, and most importantly displays the lives of a father and
son: a father who would become an American hero and a son who excelled on his own terms, but who was profoundly
influenced by a figure who had gained legendary status.
The elder Patton gained widespread fame during World War
II as a fearless commander and motivator of soldiers in war. He was brash, supremely self-confident, and greatly
admired by the enemy; many German officers would later say Patton was the most important weapon in the American arsenal. A complex man driven by his knowledge of history and warfare, the elder Patton was compassionate and
easily moved to tears. He was a professional soldier who loved the art of war and hated war itself.
The younger Patton has also lived a most exciting life, having been acquainted with many of the famous names in
political and military history. Together, father and son logged 79 years of continuous military service, fighting
in every American conflict from the punitive action taken in Mexico in 1916 through Vietnam.
This is the only book on the Patton family that includes commentary from both the son and daughter of General George
S. Patton, concerning their father's life and times. Including a vast array of never before published information,
this book is also a family story and a contemporary history of the wars that shaped the 20th century. There are interviews with the late Richard Nixon, General William Westmoreland, General James Dozier, Jimmy Doolittle and
many others.
