Comments From Other Readers“I was relly surprised when I read this to find that the focus was on non-Allied generals. At first it sort of made me have second thoughts about reading this but the style was done really well. I liked seeing a glimpse of the personal lives and emotions of men who probably had to put on a serious face to their own men. I really like the information about Rommel. He seemed to be a very no nonsense soldier that took his job very seriously. I found that the author did a great job with differentiating the Hollywood myth from the reality of the men. I can’t wait to read more of these books!” - Jarred D (Missouri, USA)“I couldn’t put this book down. I don’t really like history but I grabbed this because I’m taking a history class for school right now. I’m looking for stuff that I can use to cite in my paper and stumbled across this book. I meant to skim it for information and then forget it but I couldn’t put it down. The story lines are awesome and I loved stepping to the lives of these people in the book. It was a great history lesson. I just wish all my reading assignments could be this fun” - Monica K.

[Cristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well-documented book on three major individuals whose decisions shaped the look of WWII. I would have given it five stars had it not been for all the errors I kept discovering.
