While Patton was undoubtedly A key U.S. force in the war (he generalled his army splendidly) he was by no means THE key U.S. force. (IMHO that honor goes to Ike).
That aside, "Patton" was one of the best biographies I've ever seen. George C. Scott was absolutely wonderful as the egomaniacal general and truly deserved the Academy Award he won for this role.
