Patton Jr. is one of the most successful and misunderstood generals in history. Despite the hundreds of books and articles written on the famous general, none fully capture how his successes were based on his study of the past. This thematic biography traces Patton's life-long obsession with history and argues that his success was based on his unique ability to consume, produce, and apply history."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Patton, George S. $q (George Smith), $d 1885-1945. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $v Biography. 600 17 $a Patton, George S. $q (George Smith), $d 1885-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031356 610 17 $a United States. $b Army $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533532 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Generals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939841 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 $i Online version: $a Daniel, J.
