Rules & Procedures

Da Capo Press

A comprehensive history of the Third Army from the time it was reactivated under General Kreuger, who later fought in the Pacific under General MacArthur, down through its glorious and brilliant fighting in Europe under General Patton. In most part, it is Patton's story, and the author considers him the greatest strategist and military genius of the war. No doubt many books will still be written about Patton and the ETO, but for the time being this will more than do. No punches are pulled in spite of his near-worship of Patton, and there is no hesitation to criticize Eisenhower, Montgomery and other top brass, though there is great respect for Bradley. Although it does not follow the pattern of Ingersoll's Top Secret, it reaches many of the same conclusions. The battles are covered in great detail, and Patton's race, tearing the Germans to pieces, driving forward without worrying about his flanks, worrying only about sufficient gas and whether the High Command would support him -- these recapture heroic days in France and Germany. Sure of heated and bitter argument among the military sets but the average reader will enjoy it for its fine picture of our most picturesque general of World War II.

Soldier, journalist, and Soviet spy Robert S. Allen (1900–1981) was a deeply controversial figure. After serving in France during World War I, he left the military, forged a successful career as a syndicated columnist, and even rose to become the Washington, DC, bureau chief for the Christian Science Monitor. During this period, he developed a sideline as a paid informant for the KGB. Still, Allen returned to the army following America's entry into World War II and served as General George S. Patton's chief of situation and executive officer for operations. He was considered such an authority on Patton after the war that Twentieth Century-Fox asked him to develop a film script about the general. In Forward with Patton, John Nelson Rickard presents a complete, annotated edition of Colonel Allen's World War II diary for 1944-1945. The entries reflect Allen's private thoughts on his experiences, provide insight into the employment of the Third Army staff, and survey the strengths and weaknesses of individual staff members. They also provide an invaluable and rare perspective of Patton, with whom Allen worked closely while gathering intelligence, and whom he deeply admired. At times objective and at others intensely personal, Forward with Patton offers a distinctive eyewitness account of one of the US military's most important armies by one of its most colorful soldiers.
