| Summary: | A dual biography of the two World War II generals who changed warfare--and history--forever. <p>General George S. Patton and General Erwin Rommel- They served their countries through two World Wars. Their temperaments, both on and off the battlefield, were overwhelmingly contrary-but their approach to modern warfare was remarkably similar.</p> <p>Written by a prominent military historian, Patton and Rommel takes a provocative look at both figures, intertwining the stories of the paths they took and the decisions they made during the course of the Second World War-and compares the lives and careers of two men whose military tactics redirected the course of history.</p> |
