Tak to cítili jeho vlastní vojáci, tak to chápal i nepřítel. Byl to on, kdo je učinil smělými, sebevědomými a odvážnými v boji. Byl to on, kdo je naučil vydávat ze sebe maximum a nikdy si nepřipustit, že by mohli být poraženi. Kniha plná podrobných informací o Rommelovi a jeho životě. Brigadier Desmond Young met Rommel once right after he was captured by Rommel's Afrika Corp soldiers. Since Young was involved in the War in the Desert, he had first hand knowledge of what it was like to be there. He had access to Rommel's papers, interviewed his family and German officers who served with him including his batman, thus he wrote this book from many sources. He also interviewed Allied officers who faced Rommel in battle. The one opponent who did not appreciate Rommel's reputation was Eisenhower. We learn how it took Rommel a long time to realize Hitler was the problem and not just his gangster entourage. This is a good look at what went on inside the German High Command and how lucky the Allies were that some of them were so incompetent and self seeking that they hindered their own war effort. Young has made this very readable despite the detail. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Early in 1941, the famed British Eighth Army was on the route to victory in North Africa. Just a few months later, this same army was on the verge of total defeat, as the Germans had won victory after victory and were threatening to overrun Egypt and the Middle East. Here is the classic biography of the man who masterminded this great turnabout, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, commander of the German Afrika Korps. The man who burned Hitler's order to execute British raiders and who gave Allied prisoners the same food and medical treatment as his German troops. The tough general who personally conducted reconnaissance under fire in an open car while his tank commanders hid in armored turrets. The author of this book, Brigadier General Desmond Young, fought against Rommel in North Africa, was captured by him, and after his release at the end of the war visited Rommel's family and talked with many of his fellow officers. Thus, he is able to tell us about intrigues that went on in the German High Command during the war, he is able to give a blow-by-blow description of such decisive battles as Tobruk and El Alamein, and he is able to give personal anecdotes about Rommel and to sort out the facts from the legends that have sprung up around this extraordinary general.
