Synopsis

Major General Maurice Rose (1899-1945), commander of 3rd Armoured First Army's "Spearhead" division, is the highest ranking American Jewish officer ever killed in battle, and the only casualty to spark a War Crimes Investigation. This work is a biography of this World War II figure, telling the story of Rose's life - from his childhood as the son of a rabbi, through his experiences in World War I and in the US cavalry, to his meteoric rise as America's answer to Rommel.
