Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard - Killing Patton - 2014
![[Image: 220px-Killing_Patton_cover.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ec/Killing_Patton_cover.jpg/220px-Killing_Patton_cover.jpg)
The final year of the war and the Russians, Brits and Americans are closing in on Hitler. A race for who gets to Berlin first. The commies won. This book is as much about the other players as it is Patton. That would be Roosevelt, Churchill, Truman, Stalin and Eisenhower. We all get to divide up Europe as a result of our victory. I'm not a conspiracy guy so I'm not much into the premise of the book which is that Patton met his fate as a result of some planned plot. The man died from being in a car accident. His vehicle was plowed into by a U.S. Army truck. I'm sure he acquired some enemies over the years but it is a reach to say it his death was planned. But it sure was a good book.
Grade - A
next up - One Of Ours by Willa Cather
