Neuware - 'Poignant . . . Well worth the read.'—Wall Street JournalIn December 1944,Frank Sisson deployed to Europe as part of General George S. Patton’s famedThird Army. Over the next six months, as the war in Europe raged, Sisson wouldparticipate in many of World War II’s most consequential events, from theBattle of the Bulge to the liberation of Dachau. Now 95 years old, Frank shareshis remarkable story of life under General Patton for the first time.Frank Sisson grew up in ruralOklahoma during the Great Depression. His father died when Frank was young, andso in 1944, at age eighteen, Frank, like so many other young men acrossAmerica, enlisted in the Army and was deployed to France. At a trafficintersection one day, Frank caught his first glimpse of the man who wouldcontrol the next six months of Frank’s deployment, and whose lessons, andspirit, would shape the rest of Frank’s life. General Patton could be erraticand short-tempered—but he was also a brilliant military tactician and careddeeply for the men who served under him, a credo that gave Frank and his fellowsoldiers solace as they faced death every day. In this gritty, intimateaccount, Frank reveals what life on the ground was really like in the closingdays of World War II. After the war, Frankcontinued to serve in the army as a military police inspector in Berlin. When hefinally returned home, he attended college and built a career in business. Likemany members of the Greatest Generation, he was often reluctant to share hisstories of the war, in all their glory, and terror. He was content to live andwork in the nation he had fought to protect, an embodiment of the AmericanDream.Patton, on the other hand,would not live to see the postwar world he helped create. In December 1945,less than a year after the conclusion of the war, he tragically died followinga car accident. Now, seventy-five years later, Frank Sisson’s remarkablereminiscences provide a fresh, unique look at Patton’s leadership, the final daysof World War II and its direct aftermath, and the experience of combat on thefront lines.
