The British had been thrown back across the frontiers of Egypt until, at E1 Alamein, Rommel's army threatened Cairo, Alexandria, and the rich oil fields of the Middle East. Rommel: Battles and Campaigns provides a perceptive and incisive analysis of his entire military career, from his fighting in Rumania, Italy, and France during World War I, through his North African campaigns, to his command in Normandy and his fatal (though false) implication in the July 20 bomb plot against Hitler. Written by an expert in tank warfare, and illustrated with nearly two hundred photos and maps, this book presents a revealing, critical portrait of one of the most celebrated soldiers of World War II. 505 0 The education of a Tactician -- The limbo of peacetime -- With the ghost division -- "A big and important job" -- The vortex -- Backlash to Gazala -- Objective Tobruk -- The trap at El Alamein -- Downfall at Alam Halfa -- El Alamein-a study in attrition -- The long retreat -- Battles against the grain -- In search of employment -- The crash -- The martyr. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Rommel, Erwin, |d1891-1944. 610 10 Germany. |bHeer |vBiography. 600 17 Rommel, Erwin, |d1891-1944. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00029170 610 17 Germany. |bHeer. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00534549 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zGermany. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zAfrica, North. 650 0 Marshals |zGermany |vBiography. 650 7 Marshals. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01010769 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 651 7 North Africa. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01239515 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 650 17 Veldslagen. |2gtt 650 17 Tweede Wereldoorlog. |2gtt 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 4 Biography. 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0833/97010973-b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0833/97010973-d.html 852 0 |bscstacks |hD757 |i.M27 1997
