The inside story of how and why Patton was taken out.
TARGET PATTON is detailed and very factual, the author after a long search finds the original assassin alive and willing to speak as the gunman was near the end of life. He had never talked about his part in Patton's death before in this revealing way. The author does much other research and provides a complete context. The "Killing Patton" book by O'Riley is comparatively shallow. The book to read on the subject is TARGET PATTON.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Target:Patton - a good book, worth reading.
Quite a good book in many ways. Some of the details given of what Allied OSS (Office of Strategic Services - forerunner of the CIA) units did were unexpected, but I suppose that's how it was. Much information is also given about Soviet infiltration of the US and English governments, especially the Roosevelt administration. I didn't know that the OSS was working with the Soviet NKVD (later renamed the KGB) and was also infiltrated by Soviet agents. It seems Patton's superiors didn't like him very much in the first place, and became more and more convinced he was unbalanced after he made several negative remarks about the Soviet Union. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that after reading Bill O'Reilly's book first and then this one (which I think is the better of the two), I'm pretty sure George S. Patton was assassinated, probably by the NKVD with the assistance of some of our OSS personnel. It was a tragedy for the general but also for our country as a well.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Staunch American, goal-centered general, issue-generating opinionist!
It seems that holding viewpoints (especially if actions conform to those viewpoints) can have serious consequencesBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
