      Poo. John Grisham?
      John Grisham is OK, just not enough gunshots for my taste. I like spies and soldiers, Grisham is more like run-of-the-mill people. The critics consider that by far the best authors in the thriller genre are Le Carré and Forsyth, whose throne is unassailable. Curiously enough, both were in the SIS.
      The past is a foreign country.

      Lol, I was just naming author my parents have read, and presuming they are thriller writers. I've never read either of them, nor do I care to. I don't care for thrillers. Now that I think about it, maybe we should stop talking about books here so we don't get in trouble.

    • Patton, I've always been one for the decisive battle of annihilation and maneuver emphasized by Napoleon, and I feel Patton is the true embodiment of such for the Allies.

    • George Patton was better General, his strategy especially during the campaign of Italy served to the fall of the axis in the West.

      Such bull, it was D-Day if anything. That campaign only gave the Germans more factories and units directly into their army.

      I'm not interested in starting a discussion on who was the best General, in my opinion, Patton was the best overall. End of the discussion.

      Wow, way to put across false facts and then not defend them.
      You are interested in 'facts?, Ok:

      Patton was simply the better General allied, thanks to their tactics, Germany lost in the West, the strategic knowledge on the armored and their tactical got the German defeat in Normandy and in all the Western European front, but as I said, I'm not interested in discussing, everyone has an opinion.

      Not really. Patton wasn't even a commander at D-Day. When he did arrive, he faced less troops than anybody else.

      "Patton's strategy with his army favored speed and aggressive offensive action, though his forces saw less opposition than did the other three Allied field armies in the initial weeks of its advance"

      Making wild claims that Patton alone defeated Germany in Western Europe isn't an opinion, nor is it fact.

      Simply watch the survey, the majority opinion that Patton is better, it is true that Patton not only conquered to put an end to the Germans, but if he had a great merit.

      I voted for Patton myself, but you make it out that he single-handedly defeated the Germans `when that couldn't be further from the truth.

      Who captured Berlin? Who captured Rome? Who won the Battle of Monte Cassino? Who won the Battle of Villers-Bocage? Patton did nothing here.
