He remained firmly in the center of the action and at the center of controversy. That's what made General George S. Patton America's most colorful military leader and an endlessly fascinating subject.

With his iron-clad will to win, unique personality, and fearlessness, Patton's a hero who will keep kids turning the pages to find out more.
