Field Marshal Erwin Rommel exerted an almost hypnotic influence not
only over his own troops but also over the Allied soldiers of the
Eighth Army in the Second World War. Even when the legend
surrounding his invincibility was overturned at El Alamein, the
aura surrounding Rommel himself remained unsullied. In this classic
study of the art of war Rommel analyses the tactics that lay behind
his success. First published in 1937 it quickly became a highly
regarded military textbook, and also brought its author to the
attention of Adolph Hitler. Rommel was to subsequently advance
through the ranks to the high command in the Second World War. As a
leader of a small unit in the First World War, he proved himself an
aggressive and versatile commander with a reputation for using the
battleground terrain to his own advantage, for gathering
intelligence, and for seeking out and exploiting enemy weaknesses.
Rommel graphically describes his own achievements, and those of his
units, in the swift-moving battles on the Western Front, in the
ensuing trench warfare, in the 1917 campaign in Romania, and in the
pursuit across the Tagliamento and Piave rivers. This classic
account seeks out the basis of his astonishing leadership skills,
providing an indispensable guide to the art of war.
