Fighting Patton: George S. Patton Jr. Through the Eyes of His Enemies presents a vivid portrait of one of World War II’s most flamboyant and effective commanders—his lifelong obsession with war, rise from the Mexican Expedition and World War I to command corps and armies, and his key campaigns in Tunisia, Sicily, Normandy, Lorraine, the Battle of the Bulge and the push into Germany. Rather than a conventional biography, the book reframes Patton’s legacy through German perspectives, showing how opposing commanders perceived his leadership, how his tactics shaped battlefield outcomes, and why his forces repeatedly prevailed against Axis opponents.
Author Harry Yeide, a noted military historian, supports this fresh interpretation with extensive German wartime records—hundreds of previously unpublished unit reports, officer accounts and telephone transcripts—making the book a focused operational and campaign study within military history and biography. Classified as World War II operational history and campaign analysis, the volume (ISBN 9780760341285) emphasizes enemy assessments, German archival sources, and command-and-leadership evaluation across the European and North African theaters.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
