Description
Erwin Rommel was a complex man: a born leader, brilliant soldier, and devoted husband. He proved himself a master of armored warfare in France, North Africa, and Normandy, running rings around a succession of Allied generals who never got his measure. Despite his military genius, Rommel was also naive, admiring Adolf Hitler at the same time as he despised the Nazis. However, as he came to understand the true nature of the Third Reich, he ultimately refused to abandon his moral compass. This pivotal moment in June 1944 marked a turning point for Rommel, who would still fight for Germany even as he abandoned his oath of allegiance to the Führer. In Field Marshal, historian Daniel Allen Butler assesses the temper of the man who finally fought only for his country, and not for the dark depths of tyranny.
