Any additional comments?

Highly recommend the whole Killing series. I highly recommend Killing Patton as this is a story that is never really talked about or has never really been told in this way.

A great history lesson

In Wartime, I Would Want Him On My Side!

Where does Killing Patton rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Among the "pop" literature books that I have listened to I would rank it as one of the best. I found the story compelling as I learned a great deal about the charterers of the leaders in the European theater of WWII and their relationships with one another.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Patton! He was a man designed and fashioned as a warrior who proved invaluable to the allied forces in WWII.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Patton, Coincidence or Conspiracy?

Excellent book for memorial weekend!

Interesting book on Patton and a lot of good stories of WW2. I recommend it!
