SUMMARY:Growing up Patton: Reflections on Heroes\, History\, and Family Wisdom by Benjamin Patton
DESCRIPTION:This unique memoir by the grandson of General George S. Patton Jr. offers a rare and intimate look into the life of the legendary man and the legacy he passed down from one generation to the next. It includes never before published letters between General George S. Patton and his son during WWII\, as well as never before published family photographs. \nThe grandson of the iconic World War II general George S. Patton Jr.\, documentary filmmaker Benjamin Patton explores his family legacy and shares the inspirational wit and wisdom that his grandfather bestowed upon his only son and namesake. \nIn revealing personal correspondence written between 1939 and 1945\, General Patton Jr. espoused his ideals to Benjamin’s father\, then a cadet at West Point. Dispensing advice on duty\, heroism and honor with the same candor he used ordering the Third Army across Europe\, the letters show Patton to be as dynamic a parent as a military commander. \nFollowing in those famous footsteps\, Benjamin’s father became a respected and decorated hero of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Ironically\, as he rose to Major General\, he also proved himself just as brave\, flamboyant\, flawed and inspiring as his father had been. \nA study of a great American original\, Growing Up Patton features some of the pivotal figures in Benjamin’s father’s life\, including Creighton Abrams\, the WWII hero who became his greatest mentor; Charley Watkins\, a daredevil helicopter pilot in Vietnam; Manfred Rommel\, the son of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel; Joanne Patton\, the author’s mother and a resourceful fighter in her own right; and Benjamin’s mentally challenged brother\, George. Growing Up Patton explores how the Patton cultural legacy lives on\, and in the end\, reveals how knowing the history of our heritage-famous or not-can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
