Produktbeschreibung

General George Smith Patton of World War II fame often spoke with pride of the military deeds of his forefathers. From an early age, he had been regaled with the exploits of his relatives from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. These stories of courage and great deeds of his heroic ancestors and their mighty battles, greatly influenced the man who would lead American troops in World War I and World War II. Much has been written about the exploits of General George Smith Patton. It is not widely known, however, that George Smith Patton IV was every bit the soldier that his father was. He saw more actual frontline combat and was just as highly decorated by his country for valor. The son matched in two wars the two Distinguished Service Crosses and two Silver Stars awarded to his father in two wars. This book delves into the lives of the four men who shared the name -- George Smith Patton -- in times of peace and war.
