be the life story of General George S
Patton In fact, American Caesar, writ
ten b\ William Manchester, ls the biog
raphy of another great military man.
General Douglas MacArthur 1 have just
completed a lengthy history term ^
paper on the life and times of Mac
Arthur in which 1 used Manchester's
book extensively as a source of infor
