Patton Jr. and his development and application of modern warfare. The book argues that popular representations of Patton are built on misconceptions and incomplete understandings about his approach to battle. The author identifies four core principles in Patton's creed: targeting the enemy's morale through shock; utilizing highly practiced combined arms mechanized columns; relying on mission tactics and flexible command and control; and employing multi-layered and synthesized intelligence systems to identify enemy capabilities and weak spots."--Provided 600 10 $a Patton, George S. $q (George Smith), $d 1885-1945 $x Military leadership. 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 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 610 24 $a United States. $b Army. 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns. 650 0 $a Military doctrine $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Generals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 $a Military doctrine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021106 650 7 $a Military leadership. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01185276 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Morningstar, James Kelly, author. $t Patton's way $d Annapolis, Maryland : Naval Institute Press, [2017] $z 9781612519784 $w (DLC) 2017012997 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012424.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802031556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B805438774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
