Brief description:
From the book cover:
Whether he was defending his rights in a tenement scuffle, boxing at West Point, racket busting in New York City, parachuting into Normandy, or advising presidents—Mickey Marcus never ducked a fight, especially where freedom was involved.
So, when the lsraelis, outnumbered sixty to one and lacking food, fuel, tanks, planes, and even rifles, sought his help, he came, brought off a miracle - and then was killed by a tragic quirk of fate, only a few hours before the cease-fire.
