Omschrijving
Stripping away the many lays of Nazi and Allied propaganda, Reuth argues that Rommel’s life symbolises the German tragedy: to have followed Hitler into the abyss, and to have considered that to be his duty.
`The legend of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel – the Desert Fox – is threefold: he was a simple soldier who did his duty and knew nothing of Nazism; he was a commander of superlative talent who ran rings around the British in North Africa in 1941-2; he was a leader in resistance to Hitler and gave his life to the cause after the failure of the July 1944 plot. In this lucid, exemplary volume, Reuth shows that all three of these assumptions are false . . . and reveals the truth in a brilliant book that, incidentally, exposes the self-serving role of the Cold War West in promoting the Rommel legend’ Frank McLynn, Independent.
Ralf Georg Reuth is a German journalist and historian. He has written several books on German history, major biographies of Hitler, Goebbels and Rommel, and was the editor of the Goebbels' diaries.
