Patton Unleashed - Peter Darman - Bog

Throughout the summer of 1944 the US Third Army, under the brilliant leadership of its charismatic commanding officer General George S Patton, achieved some remarkable military successes. Within the space of two months, US tanks had reached the German border, having crushed all before them, and would have undoubtedly driven further had not fuel shortages and bickering in the Allied High Command held them back. Patton Unleashed is an account of the armoured battles of the US Third Army from August to September 1944, charting its successes in forcing the German invaders from French soil, and laying the foundations for ultimate victory in 1945.
