Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
A book titled The Singing Sinatras that devotes 90 percent of its space to Frank Sinatra Jr. would disappoint many, perhaps most, listeners. The Fighting Pattons is similarly disappointing. It represents itself as a history of the military Patton family with a "focus" on World War II hero Gen. George S. Patton Jr. and his son and namesake, Gen. George S. Patton, who served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. However, it is essentially an uncritical biography of the younger Patton, and most of what it says about his more famous father concerns the relationship between father and son. Padded with often redundant quotes from the younger Patton, the tape is also longer than it needs to be; Adams Morgan's oddly paced narration slows it down even more. Recommended only to libraries building large collections on the Vietnam War. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, CA

Einleitungssatz
It is said that a Patton has fought in nearly every conflict in America's history; yet the first Patton, one Robert Patton, was not a military man but a tobacco exporter from South Carolina, whose name first turns up on a deed in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1771. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

I served in the 2nd Armored Division during MG Patton's tenure. He was an inspiration to many of us. The stories are true and very accurate. I am sure there are a few more that are not in the book! BB

Fine account of the famous warrior family.
4. Juni 1997
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Generals Patton, father and son, served their
country for 79 years, altogether, in careers
unsurpassed by any other American military family.
General George S. Patton Jr's life, in particular, has been examined
microscopically, but the section of this work
which recounts his career is enhanced by comments,
for the first time, by his son and daughter.
That alone would make the book worthwhile, but the
bulk of the work tells the story of Major General
George S. Patton (1923 - ), himself a fine fighting
general and one of the best trained officers ever to
wear the uniform. Like his father, he was a scholar
of his trade who understood that skillful audacity
accomplishes the mission with minimal casualties.
Very readable, with invaluable comments by Major
General Patton interspersed; photos, bibliography,
and index. Highly recommended.
