“Powerful, needful, detailed, and moving, Task Force Hogan is a must-read for fans of World War II nonfiction. The author is a well-credentialled Army veteran who writes with a skillful hand. His respect for the subject—his father and his tank battalion—clearly shines through.”

“Wars are won by bravery, smarts, and determination. In the toughest battles of World War II—Normandy, the Siegfried Line, the Bulge, the Rhine crossing, and beyond—one famous outfit set the standard for all the rest. Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 33rd Armored Regiment reflected the inspiration and perspiration of their tough, unrelenting commander: Lieutenant Colonel Sam Hogan. This is their story, told as only Sam Hogan’s son can tell it. A combat veteran himself, Will Hogan takes us into the heart of his father’s war. Ride with Task Force Hogan!”

"A superbly researched, clearly written and nuanced account of yet another small tragedy of WWII. This is truly one of the finest pieces of writing I have ever read [on the Warfare History Network], and compares to the best books of the history of the the war."

“For so many of us, our fathers and grandfathers never spoke about their service during the deadliest conflict in human history. Gratefully, William Hogan absorbed the fabled exploits of his father's gallantry with the Third Armored Division and seeks to share them now. An energetic tale of the Allied spearhead across Western Europe, Task Force Hogan stands as a vivid exemplar of family history as a meaningful narrative of men at war."
