Good for you ! :-)

I don't have any books on Patton, but I do know some things about him.

I love Military history. Have quite a few on various commanders, including Rommel. Patton is my all time favorite and I’m fond of Napoleon too. I consider Rommel’s withdrawal from El Alamein to be one of the all time greatest military feats. Napoleon at Austerlitz is something to stir the senses as well. On the home front nobody ever speaks of Dan Morgan who was a military genius. He defeated the arrogant Tarleton at Cowpens, for me really the decisive battle of the Revolution. OOOOOPS......sorry, but sometimes I get a little wound up. I’m currently reading Patton’s Ghost Corps. It’s amazing how history repeats itself.
