Rommel: In his own words

Rommel: In his own words

â€œOne loses all sense of time here. The battles for the last positions before Alexandria are hard. I was several days in the front line and lived in the car or a hole in the ground.â€
â€“ Erwin Rommel

Combining private letters to his wife, orders, his daily accounts of battle written during World War II and his published memoirs, 'Rommel â€“ in his own words' offers a compelling insight into the mind of one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s great military leaders. Alongside accounts of fighting in World War I and World War II, Rommel shares his views on the philosophy of warfare, battles, leaders and the progress of both world wars.

Dr John Pimlottâ€™s commentary puts Rommelâ€™s writing into historical context, describing the background to Rommelâ€™s ideas and how his plans were affected by circumstances beyond his control.

The book includes 120 black-and-white photographs â€“ many of them taken by Rommel himself â€“ and battle maps illustrate the theatres in which Rommel fought. From the Alps in World War I to the invasion of France in 1940, and from the Desert War in 1943 to Normandy in 1944, 'Rommel â€“ in his own words' brings the concerns and crises of Rommelâ€™s wars to life.
