PRAISE FOR TARGET: PATTON
Target Patton The Plot to Assassinate General George S Patton - image 2
Robert Wilcoxs Target: Patton has enough twists and turns to satisfy the most demanding murder-mystery fan with the added bonus of historical possibility. Populated with legendary real-life characters, Wilcox introduces the world to Douglas Bazata: a man of action as improbably true as Lawrence of Arabia. With a screenwriters gift for picture images and a military historians discipline for detail, Wilcox peels back the decades to the chaotic final chords of World War II and the opening act of the Cold War by asking the heretofore unanswered question: was General George S. Patton murdered?
DOUG MCINTYRE, KABC Radio/Los Angeles Daily News

Target: Patton is a terrific book investigating the mysterious death of one of Americas greatest military heroes: General George S. Patton, Jr. Reporter Robert Wilcox takes the reader into the mystery: from Pattons suspicious car crash in Occupied Germany in 1945 to his unexpected death two weeks later, bringing to light new evidence and raising serious questions, all of which makes for a fascinating read.

I am most surprised to learn in Robert Wilcoxs highly readable book that there is a reasonable doubt and more that George Pattons death in Germany in December 1945 was not the result of a car crash but possibly foul play by hired assassins. Certainly there was motive and opportunity, but was there method? Over the years, I had heard a version of this tale based upon German villainy, but never with the detail and matter-of-fact persuasion in Target: Patton. I dont know if he was murdered, but I am no longer sure he wasnt. Exhume the corpse. End the debate.

INTRODUCTION
Almost since the day General George S. Patton, Jr. died, there have been persistent rumors that he was murdered. Not just murdered, thoughassassinated. It has been repeated relentlessly that he was killed because he was hated by his superior officers due to jealousy and fear. Jealousy of him because he was, in fact, the best general in the United States Army. Fear of him because they thought he was going to expose many of the cowardly, incompetent, and corrupt things done by the Allied High Command during World War II. If that were not enough, there have been persistent claims that the Russians were also trying to assassinate him because Stalin hated him.
Robert K. Wilcox has taken on a major story in his quest for the truth of the matter. One thing is for certain in Mr. Wilcoxs book: he has obviously worked for years on this project and has done a great deal of homework concerning this issue. His research and story are highly detailed and comprehensive. The book is thoroughly researched and well written. It is a story of intrigue, deceit, obfuscations, and politics (both civil and military).
Does Mr. Wilcox find the trail to the truth? Does he prove his assertions? Well, the thing is... if I tell that, I will be giving away the entire story, and I certainly cant do that. It will be up to the reader to decide for himself once he has read this worthwhile book. It is, indeed, a good read.
