Description: STRANGE DEATH OF ONE OF WORLD WAR II's BOLDEST GENERALS. ACCIDENT? AUTHORS BILL O'REILLY AND MARTIN DUGARD HAVE MADE HISTORY exciting for millions of readers who may otherwise have not spent time in the history section at libraries and bookstores. Their series of books that tell the stories of the deaths of Jesus Christ, of personalities like US Presidents John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, of the mysterious death of US General George Patton, and of the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan have been phenomenally successful in recounting history in a compelling and holistic way. This book examines the mysterious death in a car crash of General Patton in December, 1945, when the fighting in World War II had ended and just days before he was due to return home to the United States. For many years, there were conspiracy theories about his death. Was it an accident? It is said that General Patton was one of the Allied commanders that the German Wehrmacht respected - and feared - most of all. BILL O'REILLY IS AN AMERICAN TV PERSONALITY, author and columnist and Martin Dugard is a seasoned writer of books on history and long-distance running. Their series of books about dramatic events in from history has made them a successful writing team. The pages are unblemished and there are no underlines, highlighting or margin notes. The binding is firm and square and there are no signs of previous ownership such as an inscription or bookplate. The dust-jacket is intact and has not been price-clipped. The text is illustrated by black-and-white photographs and several maps (examples given above). An index is provided as well as a chapter on sources used by the authors.
