The Unknown Patton by Charles M. Province is a revealing biographical study of General George S. Patton Jr. that situates his career within the European Theater of World War II while probing the lesser‑known dimensions of his personality, private life, leadership style and philosophical beliefs. Drawing on a wealth of personal material omitted from earlier studies, the book reframes Patton’s public image—exploring his relationships with family, peers and subordinates, his command decisions on the Western Front, and the controversies that shaped both his reputation and Allied operations against Germany.
Notable for its inclusion of photographs that illuminate Patton’s personal and professional life, this military biography emphasizes intimate, previously underused sources to offer fresh insights for historians and enthusiasts. Authored by Charles M. Province and published under ISBN 9780517455951, the volume will appeal to readers interested in World War II generals, high‑level command, and the study of personality and leadership in wartime.

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.
