This is a pictorial record of one of the most successful land forces ever assembled, and of the charismatic leader, General Patton, who inspired it. The book charts the Third Army's progress across Europe to the heart of Hitler's empire, through contemporary illustration from both sides of the fighting and informed commentary. The reader is taken with Patton and his men on their sweep through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria with the diverse photography of an army at work.

Product Description:As Americaâs own answer to the Blitzkrieg, Third Armyâs actions from the Normandy coast across France and Germany to Austria gave a new dimension to the term âfluid warfare.â They only needed one general orderâ"to seek out the enemy, trap, and destroy them. This they did, relentlessly overcoming every obstacle thrown in their way. Third Armyâs story is one of teamwork, of armor, infantry, and aircraft working together with a perfection that amazed even the Germans, whoâd always considered themselves the masters of the mobile offensive. Though Third Army is often remembered for its tank spearheads, like the 4th Armored Division, these pages also give credit to the brave infantry divisions which butted their heads against fortresses such as Metz with ultimate success. It is also the story of a triumph of administration as thousands of trucks carried forward the vital supplies to keep the army on the move and fighting. When a German counteroffensive nearly burst through the US lines in the Ardennes, it was Pattonâs Third Army that turned on its heel and immediately drove in the âBulge,â ending Hitlerâs last great hope for success in the west. Afterward nothing could stop it as it crossed the Rhine and overran the Reich. Much of Third Armyâs greatness, driving force, and will to win, was owed to one manâ"Gen. George Smith Patton Jr.â"and a significant part of this book is devoted to him alone. In these pages, a renowned military historian gives a vivid impression in words and pictures of what it was like to live and fight with Pattonâs men. Full of eyewitness accounts, photographs, and maps, it relates the full story of how Americaâs most dynamic fighting formation led the Allied effort against the Nazisâ seemingly invincible European empire.
