I have had a chance to really et deep into Killing Patton by Bill O'reilly. This novel has not gone more into depth about Pattons personal life but it has started talking about his military career during WW2 and how he was one of the most successful generals and how he was beloved by his men. Also it shows his armies progress into the invasion of Europe.
The story also starts to describe how Patton had begun the battle for a German fort while he was undersupplied and had less men then needed. All of his attempted attacks were failures and that was the first loss he had been handed. He was ordered by his superior General Eisenhower to stop the advance in order to resupply but Patton knew that would be time for the Germans to do the same. He was eventually halted in his attack and had to stand down.
