I've read all of O'Reilly and Dugard's "Killing" books. This may be the best by far.
They did such a wonderful job of taking historical events and making them read like fast-paced and exciting fiction.
And no spoiler alert here - we all know from the title that Patton dies in the book! And we also know all along who's going to win the war....not Germany! But this is the first I've ever heard of Patton's personal story. Very compelling reading. I recommend this book to anyone, even those who wouldn't ordinarily read history.
