Just who was Erwin Rommel?
War hero or war criminal? Hitler flunky or man of integrity? Military genius or just lucky?
Now, bestselling military historian Samuel W. Mitcham Jr. gets to the heart of the mysterious figure respected and even admired by the people of the Allied nations he fought against. Mitcham recounts Rommel's improbable and meteoric military career, his epic battles in North Africa, and his fraught relationship with Hitler and the Nazi Party. Desert Fox: The Storied Military Career of Erwin Rommel reveals:
How Rommel's victories in North Africa were sabotaged by Hitler's incompetent interference
How Rommel burned orders telling him to commit war crimes
Why it wouldn't have helped Patton if he really had read Rommel's book
How Rommel was responsible for the Germans' defense against the D-Day landing
Why the plot to overthrow Hitler was fatally compromised when Rommel was gravely injured in an Allied attack.
