  abstract: Two months after D-Day, the Allies found themselves in a stalemate in Normandy, having suffered enormous casualties. 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 selected Maurice Rose. He led his 3rd Armored Division from the first vehicle in formation. He devised innovative tactics, made the most of American weapons and personally chose the cadre of young officers who drove his division forward. Bolger infuses his narrative of Rose's heroism in a masterful story of battlefield leadership.
