Sinossi
Chi erano e cosa pensavano realmente i 'signori della guerra' del Terzo Reich, gli uomini che il Fuhrer pose alla guida di una delle più potenti macchine da guerra della storia? Mai, forse, un esercito poté contare su generali così abili, preparati, capaci di inventare nuove strategie nel corso della stessa battaglia, protrarre fino all'estremo, grazie alle loro sole capacità, la guerra anche quando questa era irrimediabilmente perduta. Ma come poterono cedere alla follia di Hitler, come poterono accettare direttive che portavano le loro truppe alla distruzione?

Far from exhaustive and comprehensive, Hitler's Generals nonetheless works as a collection of portraits in miniature of the talented military commanders Hitler had at his disposal during the duration of the Second World War. It's an excellent primer for further and deeper study for those enamored of Leggi tutto
While the book could easily be included in a college course, it’s a little too dull for me. Great material, clearly well researched, and very informative if you’re hoping to learn more about the inner workings of the Nazi military.
