I enjoyed the book as a historical look about General Patton and the war he fought. But if you are looking for a book the delves into the Machiavellian schemes to kill him, this book is not what you are looking for. I liked Killing Lincoln in that it was as much about Booth as it was Lincoln. Of course then we knew who did it. In this book, there is only a brief wrap up at the end that even hints at murder. It is still a good behind the scenes look at the leadership of WWII and a good read.
