      Synopsis

      He was the most controversial American general in World War II-and also one of the most successful, courageous, and audacious. As a post-war administrator of defeated Germany, he sounded alarm bells about the dangers of Soviet encroachment into Europe. Politically, he was a lightning rod-an outspoken conservative who continually embarrassed his superiors with his uncensored, undiplomatic, and unrestrained comments to the press. He was General George S. Patton Jr., old Blood and Guts.

      In 1945, shortly before he was to fly home to the states as a conquering hero, he was involved in a mysterious car crash that left him partially paralyzed.

      Two weeks later, just as his doctors were about to send him home to finish his recovery, he was dead.

      The army ruled the car crash an accident, his death natural. Yet witness testimony on the crash conflicted, key players in the incident disappeared, official reports vanished, soldiers were ordered to keep silent, and there was no autopsy performed on the body.


      Investigative and military reporter Robert Wilcox, author of Black Aces High and Wings of Fury, has spent more than ten years investigating these mysteries, and in Target: Patton he has written an electrifying account of the shocking circumstances-long hidden from the public-surrounding the death of America's most famous general. In Target: Patton, you'll discover:

      * The extraordinary war hero, artist, and mercenary who said he was ordered by U.S. intelligence to assassinate Patton
      * The OSS agent who knew Patton was in danger and tried to save him
      * New evidence from recently declassified documents revealing doubts about the official version ofPatton's death
      * The final stories of those involved in the accident, including those who were thought to have disappeared-until now

      Provocative, shocking, and compelling, Target: Patton takes you through the maze of denials, contradictions, and treacheries behind one of the great unsolved mysteries of World War II.

      Shocking evidence of assassination and set up for Cold Warby johndee

      November 15, 2009: If you can read this and still believe the official story of Patton's death you are probably the sort of person that still thinks Vince Foster committed suicide.

      What I found most illuminating was not that Patton was assassinated but the staggering revelations that he was regularly prevented from finishing the war early and the amount of collusion between the West and Soviets that ensured the Russians would "own" eastern Europe and set up perfect conditions for the "Cold War" and therefore keep the Military Industrial Complex and it's New World Order owners very happy, dominant and of course rich. We know by reading Carroll Quigley's "Anglo-American Establishment" that the Global Elites have engineered all major conflict for at least the last 150 years and of course funded both sides, but to read such damning proof will definitely be an eye opener to many. The New World Order must be stopped. Learn more at www.somethingmustbreak.net

      I Also Recommend: Patton, Eisenhower, Anglo-American Establishment.

      May 30, 2009: I have read everything about George Patton I could get my hands on since I saw the movie in 1975. Patton's death left me with a lot of questions which Wilcox has now answered for me.
