"It would be as hard to give up all thought [of being a soldier] as it would be to stop breathing," wrote George S. Patton in October 1945; "The great tragedy of my life was that I survived the last battle." But Patton would not see the year out: in December he would die as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in Germany. His unexpected death sent shock waves through the American and Russian commands. It seemed plausible that America's greatest general may have been a victim of foul play. In the seven months following the German surrender, Patton had openly and provocatively criticized the Soviet Union and appeared to have transformed from a staunch anti-Nazi to a Nazi sympathizer. The Last Days of Patton by Ladislas Farago, a follow-up to his bestselling Patton: Ordeal and Triumph, attempts to reconstruct the last months of Patton's life in order to determine if the general did indeed try to provoke a war with the Soviet Union and whether he failed to sufficiently de-Nazify the area of Germany under his jurisdiction. Farago also investigates the possibility of a conspiracy to murder Patton and reveals the role other prominent men, including Eisenhower, Montgomery, Marshall, and MacArthur, had in censuring and ultimately removing Patton from active service. The Last Days of Patton, originally published in 1981, is the story of the general's final battle-a professional soldier caught up in the changing politics of the emerging Cold War and new reality of the atomic age.

The Last Days of Patton

McGraw=Hill

Part One Of Two Parts In the vast panorama of WW II, George Patton had few peers as a tactical commander. But the record is less clear about his value as a strategist. Ladislas Farago sets out Patton's contributions to Western strategy. He follows Patton from the early days in North Africa to the final battle in Europe. He concludes the world would have been more secure, and millions of Europeans would be west of the Curtain if Eisenhower and others had followed Patton's advice and counsel. "On closing PATTON we have the feeling that here was a prophet we failed to heed...to our continuing cost and sorrow." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
