""The life of Mickey Marcus was an American success story, one Steve Ossad tells both passionately and faithfully in Chasing the Shadow. This remarkable biography is an important contribution to 20th Century U.S. history and that of the U.S. Army, the Israeli Defense Force, and the creation of the state of Israel."" --Ricardo Herrera, US Army War College, author of Feeding Washington's Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778. ""Steve Ossad's treatment of Mickey Marcus addresses a huge gap in Israeli history. The story of the IDF's first general, his exploits in World War II, and his role in the establishment of Israel is not only a fascinating read but provides insights into post-war history often overshadowed.
