Description: D'Este's biography of General Patton is as thorough and balanced a treatment of thisD'Este's biography of General Patton is as thorough and balanced a treatment of this great man as I have ever seen. I re-read my old copy of Farago's "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph" (just recently re-printed) afterward, and discovered just how different the two accounts are.
