A Well-researched and pretty well-written history of the African/European theater of the Second World War
For students of military history, this is a very good one.

Great Read
This book really takes you inside the minds and lives of three incredible solders. Rommel, Patton and Monty are larger than life and whose character really comes to life in this book.
The fueds, strategic planning and battles they faced on and off the battlefield were incredible. Patton's the greatest soldier in my opinion, Monty not so likeable and Rommel suprisingly the one (seemingly) with the most sanity and best personality - once again, seemingly.
Excellent read for WWII fans - one of the best I've read in quite a while.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Straight forward compare and contrast presentation of significant people who we prefer to not have around except when needed.

Questionable
There have been several books like this to come out recently. However, the true tests of a commander are simply the hardest situations. A fighting withdraw is recognized by most historians as the test of a commanders werewithall, followed by the accounts of his opponents. This book fails to take these into account for patton, and makes little mention of the fact that monty was not a field commander, but had three men under him that handled that portion. All in all, this is a publicity of common but erronous information.

Rommel what else do you need
This book portrays rommel as the hard working, determined, military genius and badass that he is.

Great Book
Full of facts but never dull, Brighton's style brings these men to life. After reading it you will feel as if you were there.
