Desert Fox

The Storied Military Career of Erwin Rommel

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is the strange and fascinating life of Erwin Rommel, from his days as a youth in Imperial Germany--when he had a child out of wedlock with an early girlfriend--through his lauded military exploits during World War I to his death by suicide during World War II, after he attempted a failed coup against Hitler. Rommel was a man of contradictions, a soldier who wrote a bestselling book about World War I, a commander who went from commanding Hitler's bodyguard to trying to kill him, a serious military mind who was known for participating in practical jokes. In Desert Fox, author Samuel Mitcham (Bust Hell Wide Open) confronts the truth about Rommel and takes a close look at his military actions and reflections."--Provided by publisher.
