Major General Maurice Rose, the World War II tank commander whose 3rd
Armored Division struck fear into the hearts of Hitler's panzer crews.
"The Panzer Killers is a great book, vividly written and shrewdly observed."-The Wall Street Journal
Two months after D-Day, the Allies found themselves in a stalemate
in Normandy, having suffered enormous casualties attempting to push
through hedgerow country. Troops were spent, and American tankers,
lacking the tactics and leadership to deal with the terrain, were losing
their spirit. General George Patton and the other top U.S. commanders
needed an officer who knew how to break the impasse and roll over the
Germans-they needed one man with the grit and the vision to take the war
all the way to the Rhine. Patton and his peers selected Maurice Rose.
The son of a rabbi, Rose never discussed his Jewish heritage. But
his ferocity on the battlefield reflected an inner flame. He led his 3rd
Armored Division not from a command post but from the first vehicle in
formation, charging headfirst into a fight. He devised innovative
tactics, made the most of American weapons, and personally chose the
cadre of young officers who drove his division forward. From Normandy to
the West Wall, from the Battle of the Bulge to the final charge across
Germany, Maurice Rose's deadly division of tanks blasted through enemy
lines and pursued the enemy with a remarkable 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. Along the way, Bolger infuses the narrative with
fascinating insights that could only come from an author who has
commanded tank forces in combat. The result is a unique and masterful
story of battlefield leadership, destined to become a classic.
