Historical person
George S. Patton is represented in the linked historical fiction through military command and battlefield decision-making and political ambition and government. These works approach the figure through the surrounding events, relationships and political conflicts rather than through a standalone biography.
In Jeff Shaara’s The Rising Tide, Dwight D. Eisenhower must coordinate American, British and French forces, while George S. Patton attempts to turn inexperienced troops into an effective army and Erwin Rommel struggles to sustain the Axis position across long and vulnerable supply lines.

Patton include Jeff Shaara’s No Less Than Victory.
