This book is written by men who actually went on the raid.  Was it a suicide mission?  The orders for the mission came from Gen. George S. Patton himself.  Task Force Baum was to act as am armored strike force behind the German enemy lines - with no ground or air support - and liberate a POW camp at Himmelburg where Patton's son-in-law was being held captive.
