That quote about Patton's voice has been bugging me -
I think it was Kay Summersby ( Eisenhower's 'driver' ). Historian Hugh M Cole is kinder, describing Patton's voice as 'high but not squeaky or womanish.When he got angry . . . his voice rose about an octave' ( quoted in D'Este,'A Genius For War')
