Rommel: Lessons from Yesterday for Today's Leaders (World Generals)
"Charles Messenger tells the story of Germany's most famous Field Marshal with a verve and brio reminiscent of his subject.  Anyone seeking a concise account of Rommel's remarkable life and career need look no further."--Roger Moorhouse, author ofKilling Hitler "WWII newsreels showed General Erwin Rommel as a dashing commander whose successes in North Africa made him a hero to Germans and earned him the moniker 'Desert Fox' among the Allies. Sixty years later, in a style as briskly-paced as an armored attack, former Royal tank regiment officer Charles Messenger strips away the mythology to deliver the accurate portrait of an ambitious soldier who became Hitler’s favorite general and nemesis of George Patton, explaining why Rommel’s battlefield strategy and tactics should be studied by today's leaders." --H. Paul Jeffers, bestselling author ofFreemasonsand ofCommand of Honor
