WWI & WWII

Two months after D-Day, General George Patton needed an officer to break the impasse and he selected Maurice Rose. From Normandy to the West Wall, from the Battle of the Bulge to the final charge across Germany, Rose's deadly division of tanks blasted through enemy lines with an intensity. He never spoke about his Jewish heritage but that ferocity betrayed a personal intensity. In The Panzer Killers, Daniel P. Bolger, a retired lieutenant general and Iraq War veteran, offers up a lively, dramatic tale of Rose's heroism that could only come from an author who has commanded tanks in combat.
