Have you heard about the new book, Patton's Photographs: War As He Saw It?

Historian Kevin Hymel was going through Patton's journals at the Library of Congress when he noticed a listing for twelve photograph albums. He asked for one, mainly out of curiosity, and was stunned to discover that all twelve albums were filled with pictures taken by Patton himself. Apparently he was an avid amateur photographer who took pictures from the day his troops stormed the beaches of North Africa to just a few days before his fatal accident. Hymel then combined the photos with entries from Patton's journals to create a masterful book that historians are raving about.

While Kevin Hymel is listed the author, the book's photographer is General George S. Patton. (not bad for a guy who has been dead for over sixty years)

The book was supposed to be released this week, but it has been pushed back until late June.
