This book is not about military campaigns, nor is it a biography. It is rather an intimate portrait by one who observed his uncle, George S. Patton, critically as well as with affection over twenty years, and who as a boy first heard the lifetime Patton credo: " The greatest privilege of citizenship is to be able freely to bear arms under one's country's flag." A personal view of the man written by his nephew.
