{"product_id":"pattons-madness-jim-sudmeier-9780811738545","title":"Patton's Madness: The Dark Side of a Battlefield Genius","description":"Dwight Eisenhower called General George S. Patton \"mentally unbalanced\" and \"just like a time bomb,\" and indeed, the egotistical, mercurial, aggressive Patton is perhaps as well known for his questionable behavior and eccentric beliefs as for his daring battlefield exploits. In a brief but probing assessment of Patton's life based on strong research in primary sources and knowledge of psychology, Jim Sudmeier considers the mind of Patton: what made this military genius tick? To what extent was Patton's boldness and brilliance as a general, his willingness to welcome risk and danger, connected to his unstable personality? Sudmeier presents a myth-shattering reconsideration of one of military history's most famous commanders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Sudmeier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081173854X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811738545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stackpole Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Jim Sudmeier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947273814271,"sku":"9780811738545","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_71c101e3-03ba-4c46-92bd-8bb47a4f608c.jpg?v=1681517743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pattons-madness-jim-sudmeier-9780811738545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
