The impression given by newspaper and magazine accounts is of a brilliant and impetuous general who makes war as exciting and colorful a spectacle as an epic in glorious technicolor."e;-Author's Preface.Written by European Theater War Correspondent James H. Wellard with the assistance of General Patton's widow, this biography was one of the first to portray George S. Patton as being more than the stereotypical warrior as he is often painted.
