Pencil comment on page 10. Ink notation on rep. Rear board has some weakness. Includes content by Manfred Rommel also. Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 - 14 October 1944) was a German field marshal during World War II. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany. Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937, he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences in that war. In World War II, he commanded the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the ablest tank commanders of the war. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944. In 1944, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Because of Rommel's status as a national hero, Rommel was given a choice between committing suicide, in return for assurances that his reputation would remain intact and that his family would not be persecuted following his death, or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose a cyanide pill. When Erwin Rommel died-by forced suicide at Hitler's command-he left behind in various ingenious hiding places the papers that recorded the story of his dramatic career and the exact details of his masterly campaigns. It was his custom to dictate each evening a running narrative of the day's events and, after each battle, to summarize its course and the lessons to be learned from it. He wrote, almost daily, intimate and outspoken letters to his wife in which his private feelings and-after the tide had turned-forebodings found expression. To this is added by Rommel's son Manfred the story of the field marshall's last weeks and the final day when he was given the choice of an honorable suicide or an ignominious trial for treason. An engrossing human document and a rare look at the mind of the "Desert Fox," The Rommel Papers throws an interesting light on the Axis alliance and on the inner workings of Hitler's high command. The Rommel Papers is the collected writings by the German World War II field marshal Erwin Rommel published in 1953. The book included Rommel's writings of the war, edited by the British journalist and historian B. H. Liddell Hart, the former Wehrmacht officer Fritz Bayerlein, who served on Rommel's staff in North Africa, and Rommel's widow and son. The volume contained an introduction and commentary by Liddell Hart. Liddell Hart had a personal interest in the work: by having coaxed Rommel's widow to include material favorable to himself, he could present Rommel as his "pupil" when it came to mobile armored warfare. Thus, Liddell Hart's "theory of indirect approach" became a precursor to the German blitzkrieg ('lightning war'). The historian Mark Connelly argues that The Rommel Papers was one of the two foundational works that lead to a 'Rommel renaissance' and Anglophone rehabilitation, the other being Desmond Young's biography, Rommel: The Desert Fox. The book contributed to the perception of Rommel as a brilliant commander; in an introduction, Liddell Hart drew comparisons between Rommel and Lawrence of Arabia, "two masters of desert warfare." Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Harcourt Brace & Company. New York. 1953. 545 pages. First edition, first printing. First American Edition stated on the copyright page. No later printings noted; 1953 date is present on the title page. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Two tipped-in fold out maps are present in addition to the illustrated map endpapers. Black cloth panel. Rear panel is bright and nice; as is front except there is a small piece of tape at top and bottom edge. This is only on one panel and does not affect the illustrated endpapers. Front endpaper verso contained a vintage bookplate that is still present however the vintage glue on the back of the bookplate has dried out, detaching the old bookplate, so bookplate is now laid-in. This bookplate is easily reattached and by doing so it would cover the shadow left by the old dried-out bookplate paste. Some of this shadow is visible through the endpaper on the other side. Now classic DJ is present with a small closed edge tear along the front on the top edge. Small open chip on top edge on rear. Minor light soiling and shelf-rubbing. $8.50 price intact on DJ flap; hence this is a later DJ married to this copy; further supported by Harcourt, Brace & World printed on base of flap; an entity not created until 1960. Prior to 1960 Harcourt was Harcourt, Brace & Co. This first printing is from 1953; in a 1960's DJ. A solid, sturdy first printing of the WWII tactical classic in a later state DJ. VG-/VG.
