Killing Patton
Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II's Most Audacious General - Bill O'Reilly

After finishing this I feel like the title is a bit misleading. While O'Reilly and Dugard do briefly discuss Patton's death they don't really discuss in detail what they think happened until the afterword. I wasn't expecting this big conspiracy theory book but for the title they gave the book I expected them to discuss Patton's death more than they did.

 

Other than that I did enjoy reading this book. This book did a good job at following Patton throughout the war. Not only did I learn more about Patton but also about other major players during WWII (especially Stalin, who I didn't know much about). 

 

I would recommend this book to people interested in reading about WWII. You won't get the conspiracy theory book that you're probably expecting from this book but you will get an overview of Patton's actions during the war and brief glimpses at other major players.

Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II's Most Audacious General - Bill O'Reilly

My mother recommended this book to me. No, she hasn't read it but she saw Bill O'Reilly on the Tonight Show and he was discussing the book and she said "This sounds like something you'd enjoy." My mother and I have different tastes in books but she knows that I am somewhat obsessed with reading and learning more about WWII. 

 

This has been quite interesting. In regards to general events during WWII, I haven't really read all that much that I didn't know. I have been learning a lot about George Patton. I can't say I had a real in depth knowledge of him prior to reading this book. This has made me eager to find more resources to learn more about him. I am eager to read what the authors say in regards to Patton's death.
