The Fighting Pattons Book

This book gives readers a unique look at a bold and legendary general, and the compelling story of his only son, who followed in his father's footsteps. Using a biographical format, the book relies on extensive interviews and related research to provide a personal and candid look at General George S. Patton and his son, also a general and commander of men in battle. The volume is immeasurably aided by the memories of the younger Patton, whose quotes are given special recognition in the text to accentuate their role, as well as those of his late sister, Ruth Ellen Patton Totten, who contributed extensively to the manuscript before her passing. It is the most personal view of the Patton legacy ever presented. Together, father and son logged 79 years of continuous military service. They fought in every American conflict, from the punitive action undertaken in Mexico in 1916 through Vietnam.Read More
