Patton's life was a patchwork of a hard-driving leadership style, a colorful and sarcastic personality, and a series of dire political missteps. His image is often contradictory. On one hand, he was a hot spark who could often fly off the handle and say and do things that were injurious to himself and others. On the other hand, he was a gifted orator whose capacity to inspire his troops was second to none. Reconciling those elements of his being can sometimes be a tricky proposition.Inside you'll read aboutBorn to be a SoldierForeign WarsBetween the WarsWorld War I BeginsHard Fighting AheadNormandyNormandyThe Battle of the BulgeGermanyAfter the FightingLegacyAnd much more>What makes Patton a controversial figure, and who was he, really?
