'Utterly fascinating.' James Holland 'First-class... The intense
rivalry of Monty and Patton is one of the great stories of the war,
and has never been told better.' Andrew Roberts Born in the two
decades prior to World War I, George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and
Erwin Rommel became among the most recognized and successful
military leaders of the twentieth century. However, as acclaimed
military historian Lloyd Clark reveals in his penetrating and
insightful chronicle of their lives, they charted very different,
often interrupted, paths to their ultimate leadership positions
commanding hundreds of thousands of troops during World War II.
Each faced battle for the first time in World War I, a searing
experience that greatly influenced their future approach to war and
leadership. When war broke out again in 1939, Montgomery and Rommel
were immediately engaged, while Patton chafed until the US joined
the Allies in 1942 and the three men, by then generals, collided in
North Africa in 1943, and then again, climactically, in France
after D-Day in 1944. Weaving letters, diary extracts, official
reports and other documents into his original narrative, recounting
dramatic battles as they developed on the ground and at
headquarters, Clark also explores the controversies that swirled
around Patton, Montgomery and Rommel throughout their careers,
sometimes threatening to derail them. Ultimately, however, their
unique abilities to bridge the space between leader and led
cemented their legendary reputations.
