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

 My Rating: 4.6


General George S. Patton, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost seventy years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident--and may very well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton takes readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the events surrounding Patton's tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.

This was fascinating learning about Patton's career and the many battles. This is very detailed but, about his career. The actual 'killing Patton' part was one brief chapter. If you go in to this with appropriate expectations, I think you would enjoy it. The audio book narrated by O'Reilly was excellent.
