Finished Patton: Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago.

A fitting tribute to our greatest tactical General of World War II who was an early convert from Cavalry to Armored Warfare.
Farago wrote an outstanding cradle to grave biography on George Patton that came in with 832 pages of reading not including maps.

A West Point educated soldier, who was was a cavalry officer who transitioned to tanks in his service in World War I.

Never a soldier who relegated one arm of service below another he was ardent practioner of combined arms warfare who saw the value of infantry, artillery and armor fighting together.

A professional soldier who saw and embodied especially with his beloved Third Army the U.S. version of Blitzkrieg.

From Torch, to Sicily to the post breakout of phase (Cobra) in France he acted quickly and decisively at the Falaise Gap, he quick reorientation of his forces to fight at the Bulge. To his crossing of the Rhine before Monty to the final cleanup in Germany.

A 5 star biography on George Patton. I wholeheartedly recommend to scholary readers on Patton.

A par da guerra convencional, e a coberto do logro e do engano, travou- se a guerra secreta das operações de espionagem que produziu vitórias por vezes tão importantes como aquelas alcançadas no campo de batalha. Num relato apaixonante, somos transportados para os meandros das diversas operações de espionagem, de sabotagem e contra-informação que marcam a II Guerra Mundial. São histórias reais, em grande parte desconhecidas e recheadas de peripécias, sobre personagens ocultas da Segunda Guerra.… (meer)
