Book Reviews of He Rode Up Front for Patton

Book Review: A "Must Have" for students of Armored Warfare
Summary: 5 Stars

(ret) Brigadier General Al Irzyk's account of his experience in WWII is one of the best accounts of armored warfare on the Western Front you are ever likely to read.

Irzyk tells his story from within the Fourth Armorerd Division's 8th Tank Battlion. As the S-3, and later the battalion's commanding officer, Irzyk often had the unique perspective of having his command tank "up front" in the thick of things. When combined with his knowledge of the "big picture" at the division, combat command, and task force levels, you will find that his insight knows no literary rival. His narrative captures virtually every aspect of the life of a tank battalion, and the tankers who comprise it.

No matter the cost, this is a book that every WWII enthusiast would be fortunate to have on their shelf.
