Killing Patton by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Bugard
Killing Patton is really a focus on the last year of WWII and the battles that took place between the Allied Forces and Germany. Not only did the book tell about the battles, but it gives a glimpse of the personalities and relationships between the world leaders of the time and how the personal agendas of leaders like Stalin, Eisenhower, and Montgomery played such a defining role in the strategy that was taken in battles that were fought. Patton's style of leadership was effective in winning battles on the battlefield, but caused tension with the leaders that surrounded him.
The conspiracy theory of Patton's death is not brought up until the last few chapters of the book. The author does bring up many inconsistencies and questions that were not addressed at the time of his death, but there is not any type of resolution or definitive answer.
