Description
Two military commanders who came to define British and German generalship in World War II are Bernard Montgomery and Erwin Rommel. Their duels across several theatres of war cemented their places as two of the greatest captains of their age, forever altering our understanding of leadership in battle.
The careers of both men began on the periphery of the military establishment and demonstrate how commanders proactively used the media to gain prominence. Caddick-Adams explores the military talents and personalities of Montgomery and Rommel, each bringing unique qualities to their commands. A compelling study of pride, propaganda, and nostalgia.
