註釋

In this comic novel of World War II, Jerome Charyn delights readers with a protagonist who is on the personal staff of General George Patton during the invasion of Germany. Captain Roland Kahn is the Old Man's court jester, his scribe, his philosophical companion. He keeps the General's dog Willie company when the animal's doting master isn't around, and tries to catch Margaret, the redheaded Red Cross girl, in a spare moment. But mostly, he is "hunting treasure", running a profitable scheme selling army supplies to various customers, with the assistance of his squad of MPs and with bitter competition from his rival merchandiser, the supply sergeant. Charyn's memorable characters and their shenanigans create a wonderful '40s movie feel and bring readers an authentic portrait of the larger-than-life Patton.
