George S. Patton was a colourful war leader and an eminently complex character; adored by some, but hated by others, he would lead the 3rd U.S. Army from Tunisia to the heart of Czechoslovakia. "Georgie," the little guy from California, would go on to earn a reputation as a leader of men and become one of the most gifted and the most feared general officers of the Second World War, living only by and for the war. His fiery temper and legendary outbursts would get him in big trouble, but his personal archives have also shown that, under his hard-boiled shell - the one that his soldiers nicknamed Old Blood and Guts - was a cultured man, sensitive and deeply doubting himself. This book explores both sides of the military legend, through to his accidental death on 21st December, 1945.

rencontre peu. Adulé par certains, haï par d’autres, celui qui va mener
la 3rd U.S. Army de la Tunisie jusqu’au coeur de la Tchécoslovaquie est
un personnage éminemment complexe. « Georgie », ce petit gars de
Californie, va se tailler une réputation de meneur d’hommes et de
fonceur. Il va devenir un des officiers généraux les plus doués et les plus
craints de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ne vivant que par et pour la
guerre. Son tempérament de feu et ses coups de gueule légendaires
vont lui valoir nombre de tracas, mais ses archives personnelles ont
également montré que, sous sa carapace de dur à cuire, celui que ses
soldats surnommaient Old Blood and Guts était un homme cultivé,
sensible et doutant profondément de lui. Sa mort accidentelle le
21 décembre 1945 va contribuer à le faire entrer dans la légende.
