[Following is a volunteer review of "Rescuing General Patton" by Curtis Stephen Burdick.]
Rescuing General Patton by Curtis Stephen Burdick is a fictional thriller set during World War II. The story revolves around the capture of General Patton by the Nazis in Italy and the mission that the US Army plans and executes for his rescue. There is lots of suspense and action in the text, while the writer's tone is direct, casual, and informal.
The writer begins by bringing the reader to August 1943, some weeks prior to the US invasion of Italy. General Patton is in an army Jeep, but the driver makes a mistake while heading to their destination. The jeep passes over a mine, and two of the men in the jeep die. General Patton quickly assumes the identity of one of the dead colonels, while he orders one of the corporals, named Sam Bauer, to flee and assume his identity. The corporal leaves and takes the urgent message about Patton's capture to General Bradley. General Bradley hatches a plan to ensure that the public does not find out that General Patton has been captured. What is this top-secret plan? How can General Patton be rescued from the concentration camp?
There were numerous things I liked in this novel. Firstly, this book was exceptionally edited, as I found no objective mistakes in the text. Additionally, there was tension, action, and plenty of vivid emotion in the story, which made it exciting and thrilling. Furthermore, the author utilized dialogue and literary techniques expertly in order to create interest and liveliness in the novel. Moreover, I liked the book’s structure, as the author shifted from one setting to another in a way that was both dynamic and coherent. What I liked most about this story was that it was highly realistic since the writer managed to illustrate a possible real-life scenario through the plot of the text. There were no elements that I disliked in this book.
This book will be most appreciated by readers who like historical fiction novels related to World War II. Male readers are more likely to enjoy this book, as all the main characters in the text are men. Young readers should not read this book, as it contains many instances of profanity. Both religious and non-religious readers are suited to read this book.
To conclude, I rate this book with 4 out of 4 stars. I gave it a perfect rating because it was outstandingly edited, excellently structured, engaging, and realistic.
