Book Review - Killing Patton
Posted by Robbie53024 9 years, 12 months ago to Books
In one sentence, this book would have been better titled "General Patton in WWII." There is little that actually deals with the death of Gen. Patton, in fact it is less than 30 pages. That said, it is a well written and researched description of the Second World War from the perspective of George S. Patton. There are mildly interesting and nowadays not very salacious descriptions of the philandering of the various notables of WWII. There are riveting descriptions of battles, most notably Fort Driant, and the political machinations of the likes of FDR, Churchill, and Stalin.
All in all a good read, and presents a rational argument that the death of Patton may have been something other than a mere auto accident. But not a compelling argument that there was a conspiracy or definitive proof as to who might have been in the conspiracy.
While this is in the O'Reilly line of "Killing ..." books, it is less substantive of the actual cause of the death than his other two books (so far).

Do tell, I'd love to hear more about this, please!
Still awaiting - Killing MLK, Ariel Sharon, and BHO (oops, did that slip out?)
