I won the book on Patton by Alan Alexrod on a Military Book Club history/trivia/movie question contest (my favorite stuff), and if you would like, I'll send it to you on loan-


My wife's father served under Patton in the Third Army when they landed in Southern France and made their run into Germany. He also earned the Bronze Star(with three Oak Leaf clusters) and the Purple Heart.

It is good if you to offer to loan the book. I think I would like to read it. PM or Email me.

PS. How about John Wayne?
