Patton entered the European theater in a blaze of fiery battle and success. His army blazed in stunning triumph liberating one country after another, yet after every victory Patton’s plans would be thwarted and his army quickly brought to a halt – not by the enemy, but by the American high command. This book reveals for the first time the extent of the conspiracy to stop Patton. From reporters in Washington to the seat of Eisenhower’s command, all were united in their common aim to keep Patton from conquering. Delve into the high-level politics surrounding the military maneuvers, and learn of the deceit, treachery, betrayal and back-stabbing that were commonplace at headquarters. This book’s full-scale investigation uncovers the true objectives of every campaign, from Sicily to Berlin. The genius of the strategies and their basic flaws are all there. Because the battle for Europe included so much more than mere military strategy, this book also encompasses the personalities of the commanders. Everyone is subjected to the unflinching light of the facts, and the conclusion is surprising. This book has been published! It is 512 pages and includes 5 maps. For a sneak preview click here.
