About the Book

Armée Patton's Greatest Artillery Shot - The Artillery Swordsman narrates in model form the extraordinary passion for life of an exceptional officer serving in the U.S. Army during WWII. As the Army develops from a horse-fixated, fox-hunting, polo-playing officer's social club in 1941, into a modern mechanized warrior juggernaut in 1945, you relive this transformation through the very personal account of an artillery officer's life.

No punches are pulled. Strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, and sorrows and remorse, as well as his carnal desires in the midst of the world's most hellacious war are fully exposed.

If you like the books of W.E.B. Griffin as I do, then this book is a must-read for you.
