The book that took Rommel to high command in World War II Rommel's highly regarded analysis of infantry tactics Superb insight into his experiences during WWI With a personal Introduction by his son Manfred 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 written by one of its greatest exponents.

I was curious about this book when I heard George C. Scott yell the line, "I read your book," in the movie Patton when he is fighting Rommel in Africa.
It is an easy read and has hand sketches of the various battle fields. Rommel was an aggressive warrior and he explains his actions and reasons for them well.
The cover of my printing from the 90s claimed there is another Rommel book titled Tank Attacks, but that is not correct as far as I can tell.
