Review
"'Hobart was the Guderian, in some ways also the Rommel, of the British Army...few men have left so deep an impression on people, and on their profession - in this case on the evolution of military technique.' Captain Sir Basil Liddell Hart; 'A brilliant study of a great man. A story every army officer should read. His place in the history of modern warfare is secure - marked by his vision and deep professional understanding, underlined by immense courage, devotion to duty and determination - characteristics which brought him to the borders of genius. Kenneth Macksey is to be warmly congratulated on making a very solid contribution to the written record of the Royal Tank Regiment and for drawing so sure a picture of its greatest member.' The Tank; 'I enjoyed the book enormously. Hobo was superb as GOC 79th Armoured Division.' Montgomery of Alamein"
About the Author
Kenneth Macksey served in WWII under the command of Percy Hobart, later writing the authoritative biography of that leader. Amongst many other books, Macksey wrote two volumes of alternate history, one dealing with the (successful) invasion of England by Germany in 1940 (Operation Sea Lion); the other describing a NATO-Warsaw Pact clash in the late 1980s.
