Patton's Madness by Jim Sudmeier, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Dwight Eisenhower called General George S. Patton \"mentally unbalanced\" and \"just like a time bomb,\" and indeed, the egotistical, mercurial, aggressive Patton is perhaps as well known for his questionable behavior and eccentric beliefs as for his daring battlefield exploits. In a brief but probing assessment of Patton's life based on strong research in primary sources and knowledge of psychology, Jim Sudmeier considers the mind of Patton: what made this military genius tick? To what extent was Patton's boldness and brilliance as a general, his willingness to welcome risk and danger, connected to his unstable personality? Sudmeier presents a myth-shattering reconsideration of one of military history's most famous commanders. | Patton's Madness by Jim Sudmeier, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
