Book Description
Publication Date: October 19, 2010
The death of General George S. Patton is shrouded in
mystery. While officially the result of an unfortunate car accident, the
evidence points to a far more malevolent plot: murder. So says investigative
and military journalist Robert K. Wilcox in his book: Target: Patton: The
Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton. Written like a WWII spy
thriller and meticulously researched, Target: Patton leads you through
that fateful December day in 1945, revealing a chilling plan to assassinate
General Patton. Backing up this shocking story with facts, photos, and
eyewitness statements, Wilcox reveals long-hidden documents and accounts that
explain how secrets Patton knew—and his strong anti-Soviet views—may
have cost him his life. Not only does Wilcox reveal how, why, and when, he also
names names—exposing little-known stories and secrets of such key players as
General "Wild Bill" Donovan, the storied head of the OSS (the
predecessor to the CIA); an OSS assassin; an Army intelligence agent; and even
Josef Stalin himself. Target: Patton challenges readers to look at the
evidence and question the conventional wisdom. After reading it, few will think
of General Patton—or the circumstances surrounding his death—in the same way
again.
