N2  - George S. Patton: On Guts, Glory, and Winning relies on the writings, speeches, and poems of George Patton. Included are more than 100 exquisite combat photos from the European Theater of Operations during WWII, which illuminate the text. General Patton is one of the greatest and most controversial battle commanders of the war. He was criticized by his detractors, lauded by his peers, and feared by the Nazis in North Africa, Sicily, France, and northern Europe. Even today, despite advances in weaponry and technology, military commanders still study his battle tactics
