The Patton Papers: 1940-1945

"No general officer has ever written such revealing passages on the mental turmoil of a combat leader. These pages, masterfully edited by Blumenson, consist primarily of Patton's private diary entries and his intimate letters. They reveal a man far more complex, more tortured, more ambitious, more sentimental and romantic, and more the professional soldier than either his associates or the scholars had imagined."Martin Blumenson is the author of 'The Patton Papers: 1940-1945', published 1996 under ISBN 9780306807176 and ISBN 0306807173.
