This seven-page undergraduate paper discusses General George S. Patton. George S. Patton, Jr. was one the most celebrated US soldier to emerge out of the Second World War and certainly one of the best that America ever produced. He participated in most of the important American land battles: the North African campaign, Sicily, the breakout from Normandy and the pursuit across France, the Bulge, the bridgehead at Remagen, and the conquest of Germany itself.
