This book is about the life and career of SS Colonel Jochen Peiper. I have read about him in another book about the Malmedy Massacre, and I ran across this one for two dollars at the used book store. I had to get it, because I wanted to know more about this seemingly heartless figure. He was Adolf Hitler's favorite tank commander. He was a personal adjutant of Heinrich Himmler. He was in charge of the Ardennes Offensive. He was fully involved in his soldering career, and seemed to be great at that. He was certainly well known and respected in the Nazi world, and also a very controversial figure in history. This book was very informative, and I would recommend it for anyone interested in this person.
