Book Synopsis Patton in Mexico by : Michael Lee Lanning
Download or read book Patton in Mexico written by Michael Lee Lanning and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Had Lieutenant George S. Patton not served on the southern border during the Mexican Expedition of 1916, there might never have been a General George S. Patton who took the world by storm as a bold and daring commander during World War II. Relying on Patton’s detailed personal journals of his eight months in Mexico, Michael Lee Lanning describes the young officer’s exploits during the hunt for Pancho Villa. As an aide to General John Pershing, Patton learned leadership and logistics from the man who would soon command American forces in World War I. Begging for a field command, he received it—and led the first motorized attack in U.S. military history and may or may not have killed two of Villa’s lieutenants. The press ate it up, and Patton learned not only how much he loved attention, but how to promote himself. In Mexico are the roots of Patton the World War II general, and Lanning tells the story deftly, focusing on Patton the man as well Patton the commander, and always casting an eye forward to Patton’s future career. This is how Patton became Patton.

Book excerpt: Nate Hayes accompanies the Punitive Expedition under the command of General John J. (Blackjack) Pershing as United States Army troops march into Mexico searching for Pancho Villa. The President authorized the invasion of foreign soil in 1916 after the devastating raid on Columbus, New Mexico. Modern soldiers need old fashioned tracking talents that have almost disappeared. Ol' Nate Hayes was a scout for the bluecoat Army during the Indian campaigns in the late 1800's, where he knew Lieutenant Pershing, and is the best tracker still alive. Pershing calls him from retirement to support the endeavor. Nate pairs up with a young Lieutenant fresh out of West Point, George S. Patton. During the campaign, the old scout and the young lieutenant discover a black market operating within the military ranks. Obtaining proof of this internal graft turns ugly as the pair put their heads together to rid the Army of this corruption.

Book Synopsis War as I Knew it by : George Smith Patton
Download or read book War as I Knew it written by George Smith Patton and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1995 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personal and candid account of General Patton's celebrated, relentless crusade across western Europe during World War II First published in 1947, War as I Knew It is an absorbing narrative that draws from Patton's vivid memories of battle and his detailed diaries, covering the moment the Third Army exploded onto the Brittany Peninsula to the final Allied casualty report. The result is not only a grueling, human account of daily combat and heroic feats--including a riveting look at the Battle of the Bulge--but a valuable chronicle by one of the most brilliant military strategists in history. Patton's letters from earlier military campaigns in North Africa and Sicily, complemented by a powerful retrospective of his guiding philosophies, further reveal a man of uncompromising will and uncommon character, which made "Georgie" a household name in mid-century America.

Book Synopsis Soldier of Fortune by : Douglas V. Meed
Download or read book Soldier of Fortune written by Douglas V. Meed and published by Halcyon Press Ltd.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldier of Fortune traces the bold and adventurous career of Emil Holmdahl, one of that swashbuckling breed of mercenaries growing out of the United States' imperialistic years during the early twentieth century. Following Holmdahl from the Philippine Insurrection, through the "banana wars" in Central America, onto the bloody stage of the Mexican Revolution and World War I, Douglas Meed captures the drama and adventure not only of Holmdahl, but of the United States' quest to become a major world power. Holmdahl's adventures in Mexico shed new light on revolutionary activities and the struggle for power, including the death of revolutionary leader Francisco "Pancho" Villa. Meed suggests that Holmdahl may have been the man who opened Villa's grave, cut off his head, and sold it to a Mexican general. The author captures the excitement and spirit of adventure in those bloody years, while Holmdahl's life mirrors the end of one era and the beginning of another -- from the twilight of the era of horse-driven armies to the age of industrial warfare. Soldier of Fortune is a fascinating account of a bygone age, and forms a distinctive addition to the annals of the American Southwest. Book jacket.
