DESCRIPTION:
About the Author Charles Whiting, a premier historian of World War II, served with a reconnaissance outfit in the war. He is the author of several bestselling books, including ""Patton, The Last Assault ""and ""Death on a Distant Frontier. ""He currently lives in York, England.
Jochen Peiper was one of the most colorful and ruthless of the unconventional type of leader thrown up by the SS in the Second World War. But as Charles Whiting vividly demonstrates, a grisly end still awaited him.. Notorious for his participation in the massacre of American soldiers at Malmedy in December 1944, he might have felt he had paid the price when he was released from prison in 1957
"A thorough and balanced work." according to Ned Middleton. Author Charles Whiting, who died in 2007, was a respected historian and accomplished author. Most important of all, when it comes to works of this type, he was a dedicated researcher and, as such, has collected all known information relating to the life and death of Jochen Peiper in this excellent book.There is no doubt that Peiper was both a natural born leader of men and also a hardened Nazi. His eventual death, however, raised more questions than answers and, for that reason, the definitive truth is unlikely ever to. Boomer johl said Two Stars. Interesting but tedious
