Biography-General George Patton-Genius for War by .. G. D. Williams (USA)
General George Patton was one of America's greatest generals. His exploits in war are marvels to those of us who appreciate and value history, especially history of the men and women who made this nation.
A&E in its excellent Biography series presents a riveting 100 minutes of the man and the legend. From his historical lineage to his tragic death in 1945, George Patton is given new life and value to the current generation.
One of the best things that his father did for him was to read to him. This helped to cultivate in his life a place of history, especially his place in history and his chosen destiny.
Dyslexia was a disability that George Patton struggled with and eventually mastered through his sheer determination. He worked hard at West Point to master what was set before him. Having to repeat his first year made him more determined.
Of course, there was romance for the young man. Family and the austere life of a military officer followed.
He loved horses and the cavalry. However, he saw the need for technological improvement-going from horse to armored vehicle. He created the Army Tank Corp.
Patton was outspoken on many subjects. His words often got him into trouble with his superiors.
This DVD shows his greatest strengths as well as his apparent weaknesses. If you want to see a fascinating account of a great American, then this DVD will give it to you.
