General George S. Patton. His tongue was as sharp as the cavalry
saber he once wielded, and his fury as explosive as the shells he'd
ordered launched from his tank divisions. Despite his profane,
posturing manner, and the sheer enthusiasm for conflict that made
both his peers and the public uncomfortable, Patton's very presence
commanded respect. Had his superiors given him free rein, the U.S.
Army could have claimed victory in Berlin as early as November of
1944. General Erwin Rommel. His battlefield manner was
authoritative, his courage proven in the trenches of World War I
when he was awarded the Blue Max. He was a front line soldier who
led by example from the turrets of his Panzers. Appointed to
command Adolf Hitler's personal security detail, Rommel had nothing
for contempt for the atrocities perpetrated by the Reich. His role
in the Fuhrer's assassination attempt led to his downfall.Except
for a brief confrontation in North Africa, these two legendary
titans never met in combat. Patton and Rommel is the first
single-volume study to deal with the parallel lives of two generals
who earned not only the loyalty and admiration of their own men,
but the respect of their enemies, and the enmity of the leaders
they swore to obey. From the origins of their military prowess,
forged on the battlefields of World War I, to their rise through
the ranks, to their inevitable clashes with political authority,
military historian Dennis Showalter presents a riveting portrait of
two men whose battle strategies changed the face of warfare and
continue to be studied in military academies around the globe.
