This book tells the true
story of the
1944-1945 War in
Western Europe and
the final Allied
struggle to conquer
Nazi Germany. The
story is told
through the eyes

in the 761st
Tank Battalion, the
first African-American tank
unit in U.S.
history; dynamic General
George S. Patton,
Jr., commander of
the U.S. Third
Army; and Angela
Lange, a sixteen-year-old German
resistance fighter with
the anti-Nazi Edelweiss
Pirates in Cologne.
The real-life heroism
of the 761st
Black Panthers and
legendary “Old Blood
and Guts” Patton
to liberate Europe,
and the Edelweiss
Pirates to combat
Nazism, are brought
to life in
this historically accurate
