[Peter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have never understood why the subject of this book was regarded as such an important military thinker, especially given some of his writings on the Kaiser’s War and Hitler’s War, but this in depth analysis showed me how this interpretation came about, and why.

Pretty damning expose of the writer and thinker who was once an icon.
