"For all who have any level of interest in General George S. Patton, and World War II, I highly recommend this book as a very readable account of one of the most consequential and controversial figures in United States history."-- History in Motion "Well written and an enjoyable book. I was prepared when I began reading Hymel's work to find little that was new about Patton and his leadership. But the soldiers' perspective provided by the author made it easy for me to stay interested."-- ARMY Magazine "Hymel writes in a crisp and concise style that engages readers. This work is highly recommended for both serious students of World War II as well as casual readers."-- Journal of Military History "The first volume of Patton's War , along with its sequels, will possibly stand as the fullest, most accurate, and most detailed account of George S.

Patton's WWII experience available on the market. Any serious student of WWII history, Patton, or the history of the American military would benefit by exploring this work. Additionally, any casual reader interested in these topics from a non-academic standing would find it an enjoyable journey and have trouble setting it down after they start reading." -- H-Net "While there have been many books written about Patton, Hymel has set himself apart from the pack with the depth of his research. Military historians and laymen alike would benefit from having this book on their shelf. If the second and third volumes are half as good as the first, Patton's War will be top shelf for any serious historian."-- StrategyPage "Hymel's research is nothing short of stunning . Hymel produces something that is part biography and part analysis, a story that seeks the truth about Patton .

It is a tale that will satisfy the most passionate World War II and Patton experts, remains accessible to casual readers, and holds valuable lessons for the special operations enterprise."-- Special Warfare Journal.
