Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This provocative reassessment challenges the myth of Patton and reveals the manand generalbehind the legend.In MacArthur Reconsidered, which bestselling historian John C. McManus called "a well-written, informed, lucidly argued critique," James Ellman offered a challenging new look at General Douglas MacArthur. Now he turns his attention to another celebrated World War II commander, George S. Patton. Stripping away the polished helmet, ivory-handled pistols, and the practiced "war face," Ellman delivers a hard-hitting reappraisal of the controversial general's leadership and battlefield performance.In keeping with his flair for the dramatic, Patton's successes in World War II tended toward the flashy. He took credit for turning around the American II Corps after the Battle of Kasserine Pass in North Africa, captured Palermo and won the race to Messina in Sicily, rushed across France after German lines ruptured during the Normandy campaign, relieved the 101st Airborne at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, and led his beloved Third Army into Germany at war's end. Quite a record but how does it stand up According to Ellman, Patton was a one-dimensional tactician who was fortunate to often face a German Army largely in disarray. He was excellent on the offensive against an outnumbered, undersupplied foe but was average at best when confronting prepared, dug-in opposition. Other army commanders such as Courtney Hodges, William Simpson, and Alexander Patch achieved comparable results without Patton's personal and strategic shortcomings. Patton was a flawed man on and off the battlefield, from repeatedly striking his own soldiers, to recurrent instances of insubordination, to delusions of reincarnation. His defects limited his range as a commander, caused significant friction in the Allied command structure and exposed serious limits in his judgement. His postwar political positions, including vehement anticommunism and a refusal to prosecute denazification in Germany, undermined United States policy, risked war with the Soviet Union, and made Patton a strategic liability. General Eisenhower who had tolerated Patton's missteps for so long and indeed valued his battlefield presence finally relieved Patton of high command.Rigorously argued and sure to spark debate, Patton Reconsidered separates myth from reality and delivers a much-needed corrective to one of World War II's most enduring legends.…
