PATTON & HIS THIRD ARMY

Rating:
Summary: Some inaccuracies but a worthwhile, quick read...
Review: The inaccuracies are certainly due to the close proximity of Gen. Wallace to Patton and the fighting instead of Eisenhower and the grand decision making. Overall, it is a quick read and very interesting. Since it was written in 1946, it definitely preserves a lot of the genuine feel of the times (Germans are referred to as Heinies) and depicts the general American attitude toward the Germans at the time of war. There are definitely more comprehensive studies out there, but this 200 page book addresses from the ground level the entire life of the Third Army and is definitely a great intro to the topic.
