Summary "In March 1945, against the advice of his top subordinates, Gen. George Patton created a task force to liberate a POW camp near Hammelburg, Germany. Based on memoirs, diaries, combat reports, and interviews with survivors, Patton's Last Gamble vividly recounts a mission Gen. Omar Bradley later said "began as a wild goose chase and ended in tragedy."--Provided by publisher.
