This job might be more than she can handle alone, but is she willing to accept help from the people who betrayed her, from the one person she is trying hard to forget? The only thing Jesse knows for sure is that the game is not over. The rules have changed, there are dangerous new players on the board, and the stakes are higher than ever. She's always been smart and resourceful, but it might take the goddess herself to save Jesse from what comes next.

"A vivid, balanced and frequently enthralling biography of Rommel, the general and the man. It is must reading for every aficionado of modern military history." -San Francisco ChronicleErwin Rommel's instinct for battle and leadership places him among the great commanders of history. In this definitive biography, David Fraser, an acclaimed biographer and distinguished soldier, looks at Rommel's career and shows how wild and superficially undisciplined Rommel's bold style of leadership could be, and how it inspired the men under his command to attack with ferocity and pursue with tenacity--qualities that served him well in his great battles in the North African desert and throughout his entire military career. Fraser also thoroughly explores the question of Rommel's possible involvement in the plot against Hitler and the reason for his forced suicide, even though there was no criminal evidence against him.Revealing his failings as well as his genius, Knight's Cross is a fascinating biography of a soldier whose distinguished career has become a part of history.
