Hitler's Enforcers

Kesselring, Manstein, Model, Rommel, and others of lower rank but equal ability: what crucial role did these 15 men play in the Nazi military hierarchy, in strategic planning, and on the battlefield? From the pen of a leading writer on German forces comes a valuable contribution to our study of warfare. By choosing figures who each had an extra dimension, a special quality--administrative skill, motivational ability, tactical awareness, originality of thought--Lucas illuminates the workings of command, control, military structure, and soldiering.
