Description

|
In 1940, as Nazi Germany was clearly preparing for war, France placed its faith in its allies in Britain, Holland, and Belgium as well as in its own army, considered the largest, most formidable, and best-equipped in Europe. And yet, as expert military strategist Bevin Alexander explains here in vivid detail, the groundbreaking martial concepts developed by German generals Erwin Rommel, Erich von Manstein, and Heinz Guderian, based on fast tank assaults and aircraft attacks followed by infantry—Blitzkreig—soon toppled "unbeatable" France. "Bevin Alexander has superbly chronicled one of World War II's most dramatic events ... [recounting] how Rommel, von Manstein and Guderian turned the Blitzkrieg into a fearsome weapon of war in France in 1940, and how Hitler botched his best opportunity to have defeated the British Expeditionary Force."—Carlo D'Este
