Was General George Patton Murdered?

Was General Patton, hard-boiled hero of World War II, assassinated? For the first time ever, a brand new book presents eyewitness testimony and shocking evident suggesting Patton may indeed have been murdered. Target: Patton: The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton unearths and explores new and damning evidence about a multi-faceted assassination plot to kill one of America’s greatest generals, George Patton. In Target: Patton noted journalist Robert K. Wilcox reveals gripping revelations about one of America’s greatest tragedies.

Target: Patton details Patton’s unstoppable march through Europe and chronicles the hatred and jealousy that it inspired in American, British, and Russian military leaders. Wilcox explores first-hand accounts of the scheming against Patton within General William “Wild Bill” Donovan’s OSS. He also chronicles the seemingly minor car accident that seriously injured only Patton—and all of the odd inconsistencies in the few accident reports that survived a government purge.

Wilcox is not afraid to expose long hidden documents and accounts that could have cost lives if they had been exposed earlier. He is free to reveal the little known stories and secrets of the key players in the mysterious plot to kill Patton, including:

• Patton’s life was threatened earlier in several other odd incidents—he was even warned that his death was being plotted
• No one else was severely injured in the minor accident that paralyzed Patton
• A Cadillac expert says the historic car that the Patton Museum advertises as the car Patton was riding in—is not really the 1938 Cadillac Patton was in that day
• At least 5 known reports about the accident have vanished from government archives
• Patton was making a remarkable recovery in a German hospital when he suddenly died

Few people who read this book will ever think of General Patton—and his death—in the same way. And they’ll be hard pressed to deny that Patton’s outspoken criticism of his commanders and the Soviet Union may have cost him his life.
