Publisher's Summary
The life and thoughts of Major General Patton - an interesting figure in his own right - give us insights into his more famous father that can only come from a son forced to live and work in a great man's shadow.
Critic Reviews
"The Fighting Pattons is personal, poignant and undeniably powerful." (Michael Stephenson, Editor, The Military Book Club)
"[Morgan] narrates with a lively, spirited attitude, creating a fast-moving look into the Patton family history of military service from WWI to Vietnam." (AudioFile)
"Sobel presents a balanced portrayal of the men and their myths, revealing the father and son to be much alike: dedicated professional men of arms, unswerving in their duty and their devotion to their men. The strength of this book rests in Sobel's profile of the junior Patton, with his anecdotes and pointed thoughts on Vietnam, the media, the Gulf War, nuclear weapons, and today's army."
