No other military leader wrote so frequently in his letters or diary what he was reading, and no leader’s library was so well documented since Napoleon’s. Patton’s library, which was almost entirely inherited by his son, Major General George Patton III, was given to West Point, with just a small portion of books, including this one, inherited by other descendants or friends. The author, Dwight Long, was the youngest person at the time to circumnavigate the globe, and in this book describes in detail his voyage aboard the Idle Hour.
