| Zusammenfassung: | "Nineteen months after Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor and forced the United States to enter World War II, boats carrying the 7th US Army landed on the shores of southern Sicily. Dubbed Operation Husky, the campaign to establish an Allied foothold in Sicily was led by two of the most noted American tacticians of the twentieth century: Major General George S. Patton Jr. and Major General Geoffrey Keyes. While Patton is the renowned subject of numerous books and films, Keyes's life and achievements have gone unrecognized, but his anonymity is by no means an accurate reflection of the value of his contributions and dedicated service in World War II and the Cold War. Patton's Tactician: The War Diary of Lieutenant General Geoffrey Keyes is the first transcribed edition of Keyes's personal diary to be published. Edited by James W. Holsinger Jr., the diary begins in October 1942, prior to the invasion of French Morocco and Keyes's engagement in World War II and the Cold War. Holsinger has integrated a variety of related sources, including correspondence between Keyes, Patton, and Eisenhower. A day-to-day chronicle of Keyes's experiences in the World War II Mediterranean theater and the early days of the Cold War in occupied Germany and Austria, Patton's Tactician is an invaluable primary source that offers readers a glimpse into the mind of one of America's most distinguished World War II corps commanders"-- |

Dubbed Operation Husky, the campaign to establish an Allied foothold in Sicily was led by two of the most noted American tacticians of the twentieth century: Major General George S. Patton Jr. and Major General Geoffrey Keyes. While Patton is the renowned subject of numerous books and films, Keyes's life and achievements have gone unrecognized, but his anonymity is by no means an accurate reflection of the value of his contributions and dedicated service in World War II and the Cold War. Patton's Tactician: The War Diary of Lieutenant General Geoffrey Keyes is the first transcribed edition of Keyes's personal diary to be published. Edited by James W. Holsinger Jr., the diary begins in October 1942, prior to the invasion of French Morocco and Keyes's engagement in World War II and the Cold War. Holsinger has integrated a variety of related sources, including correspondence between Keyes, Patton, and Eisenhower. A day-to-day chronicle of Keyes's experiences in the World War II Mediterranean theater and the early days of the Cold War in occupied Germany and Austria, Patton's Tactician is an invaluable primary

Dubbed Operation Husky, the campaign to establish an Allied foothold in Sicily was led by two of the most noted American tacticians of the twentieth century: Major General George S. Patton Jr. and Major General Geoffrey Keyes. While Patton is the renowned subject of numerous books and films, Keyes's life and achievements have gone unrecognized, but his anonymity is by no means an accurate reflection of the value of his contributions and dedicated service in World War II and the Cold War. Patton's Tactician: The War Diary of Lieutenant General Geoffrey Keyes is the first transcribed edition of Keyes's personal diary to be published. Edited by James W. Holsinger Jr., the diary begins in October 1942, prior to the invasion of French Morocco and Keyes's engagement in World War II and the Cold War. Holsinger has integrated a variety of related sources, including correspondence between Keyes, Patton, and Eisenhower. A day-to-day chronicle of Keyes's experiences in the World War II Mediterranean theater and the early days of the Cold War in occupied Germany and Austria, Patton's Tactician is an invaluable primary source that offers readers a glimpse into the mind of one of America's most distinguished World War II corps commanders"-- Keyes, Geoffrey 1888-1967 (DE-588)1055645764 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1942-1949 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Keyes, Geoffrey / 1888-1967 / Diaries World War, 1939-1945 / Campaigns / Italy Patton, George S. / (George Smith) / 1885-1945 / Friends and associates Generals / United States / Diaries United States / Army / Biography World War, 1939-1945 / Personal narratives, American Austria / History / Allied occupation, 1945-1955 / Sources Cold War Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 / Campagnes et batailles / Italie Généraux / États-Unis / Journaux intimes États-Unis / Army / Biographies Autriche / Histoire / 1945-1955 (Occupation alliée) / Sources Guerre froide Keyes, Geoffrey / 1888-1967 Patton, George S. / (George Smith) / 1885-1945 United States / Army Friendship Generals Military campaigns Austria Italy United States 1939-1955 Biographies Diaries History Personal narratives / American Sources (DE-588)4058900-6 Tagebuch gnd-content Keyes, Geoffrey 1888-1967 (DE-588)1055645764 p Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Geschichte 1942-1949 z DE-604 Holsinger, James W. 1939- (DE-588)1037239636 edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB Keyes, Geoffrey, 1888-1967 Patton's tactician Lexington : The University Press of Kentucky, 2024 978-0-8131-9874-3 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF Keyes, Geoffrey, 1888-1967 Patton's tactician Lexington : The University Press of Kentucky, 2024 978-0-8131-9873-6 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034865170&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
