Patton's Vanguard recounts the stirring achievements of the men of the Fourth Armored, beginning with its pre-World War II origins, up through and including the legendary relief of the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. The breakout from Normandy, the lightning strike across the Brittany peninsula, the armored thrust across France, the tank battles at Arracourt, the brutal fighting in the Lorraine region, and finally, the epic drive to Bastogne, are depicted in unprecedented detail.
Advance Praise for "Patton's Vanguard"
From Patton biographer and noted military historian Martin Blumenson:
"Don Fox's history of the division does it honor. His account...is the best description of combat I have ever seen. He has described the fighting at Avranches, Troyes, and, of course, Bastogne, as prime examples of courage, competence, and ardor, not only the will to win but also the know-how."
From (Ret) Brigadier General Albin F. Irzyk, commanding officer of the 8th Tank Battalion during WWII:
"(Patton's Vanguard) is a splendid - no - fantastic piece of work. It is the most detailed book by far that has yet been written about the unit actions of the 4th AD."
