The news of Kasserine shocked the United States militarily and politically, and led to swift changes in equipment and tactics. This book traces the battle through to its aftermath in ‘a remarkable piece of battlefield investigation’ (Manchester Evening News).

"From the moment he first came under fire," Brigadier Desmond Young wrote later, "he stood out as the perfect fighting animal: cold, cunning, ruthless, untiring, quick of decision, [and] incredibly brave." A fellow officer commented later, "He was the body and soul of war."Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel, the man who was to become to known as the Desert Fox, was born in Swabia, a former W�rttemberg district, on 15 November 1891. In 1910 he enlisted as a soldier in the German army, joining the 124th (6th Wurttemberg) Infantry Regiment at Stuttgart.This news was received badly by his father; head of a working-class family with no military tradition, who was acutely aware that ranks were mostly dominated by Prussian aristocrats. Previous trends suggested that the most Rommel could hope for were a modest pension and a low rank. Yet by 1911 Rommel was becoming an officer and was noticed for his conscientiousness and commitment to rank. He had also met and fallen in love with Lucie Maria, a woman who he would remain loyal to for the rest of his life. His military life was, however, unremarkable at this point and whilst it was apparent he took his position seriously, his private life appeared boring. He was an old-fashioned soldier. Yet when fighting in Belgium and France a relentless and astonishing streak emerged in Rommel. He was an exceptional leader who would go on to become as a notorious and highly decorated officer in World War I, rising to the rank of senior German Army officer in World War II, and receiving the Pour la M�rite award following fighting on the Italian front. Still celebrated in Germany today, Rommel's life ended abruptly when he was forced to commit suicide by Nazi emissaries in exchange for his family's immunity -- after being accused of formulating a plot to kill Hitler, a man he had initially admired but later turned against.Samuel Mitcham Jr. tells the fascinating story of one of Germany's most popular Generals and his capture of Tobruk, revealing a tactical and extraordinary military career marked by dedication, hardship, glory, betrayal and vicious Nazi politics. Praise for Rommel's Greatest Victory "This is an extremely well-written, readable book ... Mitcham ably describes events leading to the Tobruk garrison's capitulation on the morning of 22 June 1942 ... Mitcham's balanced treatment of both combatants describes a closely run battle for each side." -- Military Review"This well-researched and well-written volume will delight World War II and Desert War enthusiasts, but readers not well-versed in the North African conflict will find it an excellent introduction to that campaign and to the man who has come to symbolize it." -- Newport News Daily Press "Rommel's Greatest Victory sheds new light on the Battle of Tobruk and combines this with new scholarship on the way Rommel conducted the campaign. Mitcham has given readers an excellent and well-balanced account of one of the most pivotal battles of World War II." -- Stars and StripesDr. Samuel W. Mitcham Jr. was born in 1949 is Louisiana. He is a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot and noted historian of World War II who has written extensively on the 'Wehrmacht' and Nazi Germany. He gained a doctorate from the University of Tennessee and is the author of over 30 military volumes including Retreat to the Reich, Why Hitler?, Rommel's Desert War, Rommel's Last Battle, Hitler's Field Marshals and Their Battles, Eagles of the Third Reich and German Defeat in the East.

This fascinating biographical history reveals how the future German general established his reputation at the WWI Battle of Caporetto. Erwin Rommel was to become the most famous and influential German general of World War Two. But in 1917, no one outside of a small clique in the German Army had heard of him. His ascent to prominence began with his exploits on the Italian Front of World War I. In 1917, the Allied armies launched a series of offensives against the Austro-Hungarian forces along the Isonzo River. The final battle was a catastrophic defeat for the Allies, thanks in part to the infiltration tactics of Lieutenant Rommel. His battalion outflanked the Italian forces and executed a devastating attack from behind enemy lines. Based on official histories and archival documents, as well as Rommel’s own account, Rommel & Caporetto offers new insight into the skills and tactics he would later employ in France and in North Africa.

In the Second World War, Great Britain, the United States and Germany each produced one land force commander who stood out from the rest: Bernard Montgomery, George Patton and Erwin Rommel. These three armour-plated egos were the greatest generals of the war, and theirs was a very personal contest: the clash of mighty armies perceived as a bout between three men. All three were arrogant and flawed, yet with a genius for the command of men and an unrivalled enthusiasm for combat. All had spectacular success on the battlefield. But their explosive relationships with each other and with their political masters rivalled the pyrotechnics of their tank battles in determining the conduct and outcome of the war. Masters of Battle presents the Second World War as it was experienced by its three most flamboyant, controversial and influential commanders.

Nicknamed 'The Desert Fox' for his cunning command of the Afrika Korps, Erwin Rommel remains one of the most popular and studied of Germany's World War II commanders. He got his first taste of combat in World War I, where his daring command earned him the Blue Max, Germany's highest decoration for bravery. He followed this up with numerous successes early in World War II in both Europe and Africa, before facing his biggest challenge – organizing the defence of France. Implicated in the plot to kill Hitler, Rommel chose suicide over a public trial. This book looks at the life of this daring soldier, focusing on his style of command and the tactical decisions that earned him his fearsome reputation.
