From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Ladislas Farago was a journalist who published a number of popular books on history and espionage. He was the author of an acclaimed biography of George Patton and received a screen writing credit for the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! Some of his other work (for example, a book in which he claimed to have located Martin Bormann in South America) was of more dubious reliability.
He was born in Hungary in 1906 and came to the United States in 1937. During World War Two, he worked for U.S. Naval Intelligence. There, among other things, he wrote statements that were broadcast to the crews of German U-boats in an attempt to induce them to surrender. He died in 1980.
