About This Item
New York : Crown Publishers, c1994. Hard Cover. xv, 320 p. : illus., index, 24 cm. "The author, grandson of the WW II hero, uses previously unavailable correspondence and records to offer a case study of the family structure that produced and sustained one of America's greatest generals. George S. Patton (1885-1945) was by his own admission "not normal." Egocentric and selfish, the product of an indulged childhood, he cultivated a self-image as a warrior-knight. Patton's immaturity embraced both an absence of malice and a need for constant condoning of his actions, including those based on prejudices and ignorances. " This very personal book is about how a grandson liberated himself from the warrior culture and the family martial myth. Sections on the Civil War generation of Virginia patriots is very revealing.
