The author has discovered, buried deep in the archives of the Library of Congress, a number of photograph albums containing unique pictures that General George S. Patton himself took during World War Two. These have proved to be a goldmine of first hand historical images of which even Patton's official biographer was unaware. Patton used his standard-issue Leica camera to photograph everything that interested him, on battlefields in North Africa and Sicily, and across continental Europe from the D-Day landings to Berlin. His photographs depict the victorious face of war - with the Allies on the move, bridges under construction, and tanks slicing through the countryside. They show defeat as well - smashed German tanks, prisoners of war, and bodies strewn across the landscape. War as he saw it: this book allows the reader to view the war through the eyes of one of World War Two's greatest commanders. Published for the first time ever: 200 personal war photographs taken by General Patton.
