General George S Patton jr was one of Americas top military field commanders of all time. Yet the strange occurrences surrounding the rather unusual accident that killed him are still a mystery today. This well detailed and referenced book by Robert K Wilcox is the latest and best attempt to uncover a tangled story covering the people and politics who would conspire to kill Patton. A fearless and brilliant warrior,Patton was hated by not only the Nazi’s but the liberal/communists in the U.S. government and their ally,Stalin as well. All had reason to eliminate him. From the OSS, forerunner to the CIA, the soviet NKVD,and the FDR administration,Patton had enemies for his open hatred of the communist and distrust of the politicians in the U.S. government. Such historic tidbits like how the American government withheld Patton’s fuel supply when he had the Germans on the retreat and could of ended the war months earlier are also exposed. Through documents and interviews from people involved first hand,amazing and shocking information about our own government spills forth. Like JFK and Martin Luther King,Patton stood against the leviathan in Washington D.C. and paid with his life. An amazing book.
