"A leader of the first major American assault on June 6, 1918, and the last ranking officer in the American Expeditionary Forces to learn that the war was over, Hamilton earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Croix de Guerre, and two Medal of Honor recommendations. With this first complete biography, Hamilton takes his place among American military heroes"--Provided by publisher.
