Synopsis

Publisher: In World War II, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel exerted an almost hypnotic influence not only over his own troops but also over the Allied soldiers of the Eighth Army in North Africa and Italy. Even after the legend of his invincibility was overturned at El Alamein, the aura surrounding him remained unsullied. This classic study of the art of war, which originally appeared in German in 1937, brought its author to Adolf Hitler’s attention and eventually led him to high position in the German military command. In this book, Rommel analyzes the tactics that lay behind his successes in World War I. As the leader of a small unit, he proved himself to be an aggressive and versatile commander, with a reputation for using the battlefield terrain to his own advantage, for gathering as much intelligence on his enemy as possible, and for seeking out and taking advantage of enemy weaknesses.
