First published in 1947, <i>War As I Knew It</i> is the captivating memoir of George S. Patton Jr., the legendary American general, incendiary warrior, and unparalleled military tactician of World War II. Drawing on his vivid memories of battle and detailed diaries, Patton dramatically recounts his celebrated Third Army's sweeping campaign across Western Europe right up to the final Allied casualty report. The result is a remarkable frontline view of daily strategies and heroic drives, �including the rescue of the Battle of the Bulge from Allied infamy and the triumphant Palatinate Campaign� revealing a fascinating portrait of the full-of-vinegar, controversial commander. With selected prefatory letters from Patton's earlier ventures in North Africa and Sicily, and a powerful concluding retrospective, <i>War As I Knew It</i> is a classic of American military history.
