More Skullduggery

Vague allegations of assassination have figured in General George S. Patton's death for years, but nobody managed to pull together all the threads until now. Robert K. Wilcox, in Target Patton, presents a very compelling case that not all is as it seemed. I'm not 100% convinced — maybe 85% — but there's just too much weirdness for the official story to hold up. For those, like me, who enjoy procedurals and tradecraft it's a terrific read, very highly recommended. It was kind of Bob to talk with me, he graciously handled my grilling, and I hope he keeps digging. Total runtime an hour and fourteen minutes. Don't overlook the shadows!
