Since WWII, historians have lionized General Patton for his bold and daring leadership during Allied campaigns. His many biographers have highlighted his ability to instill discipline, remove incompetent leaders, and form an effective staff. While these attributes evolved in his persona through his military training, Patton applied his intellect to develop a deep understanding of the new methods of warfare that armies encountered on the battlefields of WWII. The application of operational art now required knowledge grounded in the close coordination of air, sea, and land assets to achieve victories at both the strategic and tactical level. While historical examples of daring victories demonstrate what western culture loves in a war hero, a critical analysis of Pattons actions reveal a more compelling story. Closer examination of his actions in the latter stages of the Tunisian campaign, during the Sicilian campaign, and in Western Europe from Normandy to the Rhineland, demonstrate that he excelled at achieving tactical successes, but did not perform well when integrating those tactical successes in campaigns to achieve strategic aims. Patton developed a reputation as a bold and daring leader; however, analysis of WWII campaigns reveals that he did not apply what the US Army now refers to as operational art.</p><ol><li>Introduction Background Methodology The Allied Approach to Operational Art, 1942 to 1945 Patton and the German Way of War 2.

This longstanding legacy begs the question of whether Patton really does stand among the great captains in history. Perhaps a combination of historical memory, media glorification, and American cultures affinity for the heroic figure afforded him undue recognition, diverting attention from other generals who performed (or could have performed) just as well or even better in WWII. His sudden death certainly seems to have contributed to his legendary status, further skewing the all-important perception from the reality of his capabilities.</p><p>As John Lynn wrote in Battle: A History of Combat and Culture, the reality of war differs from the discourse of war and is to some degree countered by efforts to make reality better by conforming to expectations. Francis Ford Coppolas 1970 film Patton had a lasting influence on the publics perception, contributing further to the separation of the reality of Pattons generalship from the myth that such portrayals have created over time. The alteration of history and the misrepresentation of the past have a long history of their own. This led to a public memory of Patton as depicted in popular culture - which essentially depicted him the way.</p>...9781370535286_Progressive Managementlibro_electonico_469b86ad-03c0-3aa3-9b62-cb9bf2ea3729_9781370535286;9781370535286_9781370535286Progressive ManagementInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/smashwords-epub-ee609018-776f-4493-837c-e77697d3a7ed.epub2017-01-30T00:00:00+00:00Progressive Management
