A tense, vivid narrative exploring the final months of General George S. Patton’s life—and the lingering questions surrounding his mysterious death.
 
Killing Patton by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard delivers a gripping account of the dramatic events surrounding the final year of General George S. Patton, one of America’s most legendary and enigmatic military leaders. Drawing from military records, eyewitness accounts, and declassified documents, the authors trace Patton’s role in the final push to defeat Nazi Germany—and his growing conflicts with Allied leaders, including Eisenhower and the Soviet command.
 
After the war, Patton’s outspoken criticism of Soviet intentions and his bold, unfiltered personality made him a political liability. When he died suddenly following a seemingly minor car accident, rumors and questions began to swirl. Was it truly an accident… or something more? O’Reilly and Dugard examine the theories, the evidence, and the geopolitical stakes that continue to fuel debate.
 
Part biography, part wartime history, Killing Patton combines drama, tension, and investigative inquiry to paint a compelling portrait of a complex American hero.
