Critics Review
Praise for Patton’s Prayer:
“There is also no dearth of books on George Patton … But Mr. Kershaw has a way of digging out gripping individual stories in the context of larger drama and bringing pace and suspense to the telling.” —The Wall Street Journal
“With careful research, Kershaw tells an engaging story, blending Patton’s virtues and flaws into a well-drawn portrait.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Kershaw’s novelistic rendering of Patton’s exploits amuses with its punchy dialogue and propulsive action. WWII buffs will want to check this out.” —Publishers Weekly
“Scintillating… . Kershaw writes … with verve, energy, and insight on every page of this book.” —New York Journal of Books
“Readers interested in World War II history, and Patton specifically, will enjoy.” —Library Journal
“Readers of all stripes will find something to enjoy in Patton’s Prayer. The faithful will love its religious overtones; military buffs will appreciate the vivid combat scenes and stories of weatherworn GIs; and lay readers will revel in a tale well told. For his efforts, Father O’Neill was rewarded by Patton with a medal. For his, Kershaw, too, deserves an award. This is a superlative contribution to World War II literature.” —Washington Independent Review of Books
