Summary
Major General Maurice Rose (1899-1945), commander of the 3rd Armored, First Army's legendary Spearhead division, is the highest ranking Jewish officer ever killed in battle, and the only individual casualty to spark a war crimes investigation. This, the first and only biography of this important World War II figure, tells the dramatic story of Rose's life-from his childhood as the son of a rabbi, through his experiences in World War I and the U.S. cavalry, to his meteoric rise as America's answer to Rommel.
