Patton's Prayer is a gripping work of narrative history by New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw, published by Dutton (Penguin Random House) in hardcover in May 2024, with a paperback edition released June 3, 2025.

In December 1944, the Allied advance had stalled in the mud of Western Europe, with overcast skies grounding American warplanes and allowing German forces to regroup — setting the stage for the Battle of the Bulge. General George S. Patton, a devout Christian, made an extraordinary request of his head chaplain: a prayer for clear weather. That prayer was printed and distributed to all 250,000 men under Patton's command. What followed was a dramatic turn in the war's fortunes. Kershaw weaves together faith, military strategy, and personal courage in this account of one of World War II's most pivotal moments.

Alex Kershaw studied at Oxford University and is the author of several acclaimed WWII histories including Against All Odds and The First Wave. The audiobook edition runs 7 hours and 50 minutes, narrated by Rob Shapiro. The paperback edition runs 368 pages (ISBN: 9780593183786).
