Which one? there are several biographies about General Patton out there that are pretty good. I have a copy of
Patton: Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago. This book, and General Omar Bradley's memoir
A Soldier's Story were the basis of the screenplay for the film
Patton.
Patton is revered as a demi-god in Luxembourg; every year around Memorial Day, the town of Ettelbrück celebrates General Patton with a big parade and party.
