Lost Victories: The War Memoirs of Hitler's Most Brilliant General [Illustrated Edition]

Illustrated with 24 plates of maps and diagrams and 13 photographs

â€œOriginally published in Germany in 1955, and in England and the United States in 1958, this classic memoir of WWII by a man who was an acknowledged military genius and probably Germanyâ€™s top WWII general, is now made available again. Field Marshal Erich von Manstein described his book as a personal narrative of a soldier, discussing only those matters that had direct bearing on events in the military field. The essential thing, as he wrote, is to â€œknow how the main personalities thought and reacted to events.â€ This is what he tells us in this book. His account is detailed, yet dispassionate and objective. â€œNothing is certain in war, when all is said and done,â€ But in Mansteinâ€™s record, at least, we can see clearly what forces were in action. In retrospect, perhaps his book takes on an even greater significance.â€-Print Ed.
