One of the first books I read in my husband’s library was “A Genius for War” and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in General Patton!

I’ve read it. It’s still on my bookshelf.

Patton had a massive ego. Granted. However, when he figured out that the planes were key to coordinating an attack, he literally left the decision on when to attack to junior officers in airplanes.

He let them do the leading, which for a general in WWII was extraordinary.

He was something else.
