In 1970 a movie came out called Patton. I saw it three times. I asked my father for a ride to the theater to see it for the third time. As he pulled into the Har Mar parking lot he asked me if I had seen it before. I admitted I had seen it twice already. If he had known that he wouldn't have given me the ride to the theater. I just finished reading Patton's Prayer: A True Story Of Courage, Faith, and Victory In World War Two. The author is Alex Kershaw. My goal was to read more about the battle of the bulge and not necessarily to learn more about Patton but the two topics go hand in hand. What I learned from the book (and not the movie) was that Patton was a man of faith and that Patton loved war. He was disappointed to learn the war had ended. I also learned more about his tragic death. I enjoyed this book about Patton that was published in 2024.
