Por primera vez en español tenemos a nuestro alcance las fascinantes memorias del legendario general Patton, guerrero incansable y táctico sin parangón durante La Segunda Guerra Mundial. Valiéndose de sus memorias y diarios de guerra, a veces escritos pocas horas después de los combates, Patton relata de forma espectacular la campaña arrolladora de su célebre Tercer Ejército a través de toda Europa occidental hasta el momento final de la victoria aliada.
El resultado es una privilegiada visión de primera línea de las estrategias trazadas y de la toma de decisiones, muchas veces improvisadas ante los acontecimientos, pero en general meditadas y plasmadas durante toda la campaña, revelando un fascinante retrato del carácter del controvertido comandante. Incluyendo una serie de cartas y documentos introductorios seleccionados de anteriores campañas de Patton en el Norte de África y Sicilia, y continuando con una potente y fresca visión del resto de la contienda, «la guerra como la conocí» es un clásico de la Historia Militar.
«Por aquel entonces Montgomery tuvo el valor de enviar a alguien a Norteamérica a sugerir que el general Eisenhower estaba saturado y que necesitaba un ayudante en jefe de todas las tropas de las Fuerzas Terrestres en Europa, y que él, Montgomery, era el regalo de Dios para la guerra al respecto.»

Work Description
Adored by many, loathed by some, General George S. Patton, Jr., was one of the most brilliant military strategists in history. War As I Knew It is the personal and candid account of his celebrated, relentless crusade across western Europe during World War II. First published in 1947, this absorbing narrative draws on Patton's vivid memories of battle and his detailed diaries, from the moment the Third Army exploded onto the Brittany Peninsula to the final Allied casualty report. The result is not only a grueling, human account of daily combat and heroic feats - including a riveting look at the Battle of the Bulge - but a valuable chronicle of the strategies and fiery personality of a legendary warrior. Patton's letters from earlier military campaigns in North Africa and Sicily, complemented by a powerful retrospective of his guiding philosophies, further reveal a man of uncompromising will and uncommon character, which made "Georgie" a household name in mid-century America. With a new introduction.
