George S. Patton is a colourful war leader little encountered. Adored by some, hated by others, the one who will lead the 3rd U.S. Army from Tunisia to the heart of Czechoslovakia is an eminently complex character. "Georgie," this little guy from California, will earn a reputation as a leader of men and he will become one of the most gifted and the most feared general officer of the Second World War, living only by and for the war. His fiery temper and legendary outbursts will get him in big trouble, but his personal archives have also shown that, under his hard-boiled shell, the one that his soldiers nicknamed Old Blood and Guts was a cultured man, sensitive and deeply doubting him. His accidental death 21 December 1945 will help to make him enter the legend.
