War as I Knew It

By: George Patton

Narrated by: Ray Atherton

A military classic by a legendary American general.

War as I Knew It is the personal and candid account of General George S. Patton, Jr.'s celebrated, relentless crusade across Europe during World War II.

First published in 1947, this absorbing narrative draws on Patton's vivid memories of battle and his detailed diaries, from the moment the Third Army exploded onto the Brittany Peninsula to the final Allied casualty report. The result is not only a grueling, human account of daily combat but also a valuable chronicle of the strategies and fiery personality of a brilliant warrior.

General Patton was more humble and a better tactician than I originally thought!

My great great uncle General Patton was never described in this manner and this book has been one of the most intriguing reads I have ever read!

His own words

Very interesting to hear perspective from the General himself. He was a warrior and historian

Loved this book!

George Patton was the man! Great insight into a military mind. One of the best American generals of all time.

Legendary Diary from the legend himself.

WW2 insights of a most impactful U.S. Army Commander. Never knew of his philosophy to avoid defensive operations at all costs.

Amazing book

I enjoyed this book so much, really admire Patton so this book was up my alley!
