Overview"""This is the full story of the legendary U.S. Army officer who formed, trained, and led the unique bi-national First Special Service Force (popularly known as the ""Devil's Brigade""). Robert T. Frederick was the youngest ground forces general, the youngest division commander, and one of the most decorated American soldiers in World War II. But Frederick was not just a warrior. Highly intelligent, he was an independent thinker who was as courageous and innovative in peacetime as he was in combat. He pioneered racial integration on army training bases, devised training regimens used throughout North America, and left a record that would seem mythical if not documented. The author also reveals why Frederick ended his brilliant career prematurely."" 40 b/w photographs" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Anne HicksPublisher: Schiffer Publishing Ltd Imprint: Schiffer Publishing Ltd Edition: illustrated edition Weight: 0.517kg ISBN: 9780764324307ISBN 10: 0764324306 Pages: 272 Publication Date: 23 June 2006 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
