Creating General Patton: How George S. Patton, Jr. Created His Own Legend

By Charles M. Province

General George S. Patton, Jr. was the epitome of the American fighting soldier in World War II. His unique, unequaled leadership style provided him with the ability to obtain more from his troops than any other General officer in the war.

His charisma, his flamboyance, and his highly publicized warrior image stimulated his men--more than any other General--to an aggressive desire to meet and destroy the enemy.

Patton was the personification of the pure warrior spirit; the single-mindedness, the ruthlessness, and the driving will, all of which make up the requisites for victory in battle.

With his superior and dominant understanding of the combat effectiveness of unified forces, Patton integrated his armored divisions, motorized infantry, and self-propelled artillery into a singular fighting force.

Add to that his acute perception of well-devised air support operations and his close-knit collaboration with the XIX Tactical Air Command and it becomes clear how Patton created the most perfect blitzkrieg ever applied against an opposing enemy.

Creating General Patton tells the story of how George S. Patton, Jr. built his own legend as a military genius and warrior.
