Erwin Rommel was one of the oustanding commanders of World War II, respected as well as feared by his opponents. His instinct for battle and leadership set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired the men under his command. David Fraser's study brings to Rommel's career not only the insights of a biographer, but also those of a soldier. He shows how superficially undisciplined Rommel's style of leadership could be, and how he believed in boldness of manoeuvre, ferocity in attack, and tenacity in pursuit. This is first and foremost the biography of a soldier, but it also discusses Rommels' entanglement in politics, including his fatal alleged involvement in the plot to assassinate Hitler.

Des Young does a bang up job on his biography of the noted "Desert Fox", Rommel was a fox in all manners, but more than that, he was a soldier's soldier. He was a human, ergo he was imperfect but in matters of military, he was very, very good. His interactions w/other military men are enlightening & the book is short & sweet. A good weekend read but I enjoyed the personal touch Mr. Young gives Herr Rommel.
