Reviews
In this outstanding, first-rate biography, Ossad and Marsh have chronicled the life of an authentic American hero. Their thorough investigation reveals, for the first time, a full account of Rose's untimely death in 1945. Highly recommended. -- Carlo D'Este, best-selling author of Eisenhower: A Soldier's Life and Patton: A Genius for War
A complete and compelling narrative that covers the brilliant career of Major General Maurice Rose, from his roots in Colorado, through his service on the Mexican border and during World War I, and culminating in his leadership of one of World War II's finest fighting outfits, the 3rd Armored Division. -- Gerald Astor, author of The Greatest War: Americans in Combat, 1941-1945 and The Right to Fight: A History of African Americans in th
One thing that cannot be disputed is that Rose was an outstanding U.S. Army division commander and a kindred spirit to Lt. Gen George S. Patton Jr. and Major General J. Lawton "Lightning Joe" Collins. Major General Maurice Rose pays overdue homage to what he and his troops achieved-and the research that made it possible stands as an equally impressive achievement. * World War II *
