Ladislas Faragó or Faragó László (21 September 1906 – 15 October 1980) was a Hungarian military historian and journalist who published a number of best-selling books on history and espionage, especially concerning the World War II era. He was the author of "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph", that formed the basis for the film Patton and wrote "The Broken Seal", one of the books that formed the basis for the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!. Faragó's book "Aftermath: The Search for Martin Bormann" details the Nazi presence in South America and was based on both Faragó's own personal investigation and interviews in South America, and Argentinian intelligence documents. This biography of General George S. Patton, Jr., covers Sicily, North Africa, the breakout at Avranches and the restraint preventing total victory, among other areas. Ladislas Farago has made a definitive biography of General George S. Patton, Jr., who was an extraordinary man. Its bibliography of both Patton’s own writings and up to now untapped primary sources is impressive. The “source supreme” is an official of the New York City school system who, as if to prepare for the nervewracking job he holds, served in World War II as Patton’s confidential secretary. The variety of informants to this biography (parents of the martyred GIs of the “Slapping Incidents,” the Virginia foxhunting set, Allen Dulles, Waffen SS officers, Elsenhower’s G-2 chief, Von Rundstedt’s Chief of Staff, Rommel through his papers) is overwhelming.
