Product Information

Among students of military history, the genius of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein (1887-1973) is respected perhaps more than that of any other World War II soldier. He displayed his strategic brilliance in such campaigns as the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg of France, the sieges of Sevastopol, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, and the battles of Kharkov and Kursk. Manstein also stands as one of the war's most enigmatic and controversial figures. To some, he was a leading proponent of the Nazi regime and a symbol of the moral corruption of the Wehrmacht. Yet he also disobeyed Hitler, who dismissed his leading Field Marshal over this incident, and has been suspected by some of conspiring against the Führer. Sentenced to eighteen years by a British war tribunal at Hamburg in 1949, Manstein was released in 1953 and went on to advise the West German government in founding its new army within NATO. Military historian and strategist Mungo Melvin combines his research in German military archives and battlefield records with unprecedented access to family archives to get to the truth of Manstein's life and deliver this definitive biography of the man and his career.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Casting light on one of the great unknown figures of WWII

    A highly readable, well researched, informative & comprehensive picture of Manstein. The book's only shortcomings are the usual pro-British bias of English authors & the obvious fact that the author does not like Manstein very much. His clumsy attempts to cast shadows on Manstein often lead to author contradictions. However, in seeking knowledge (other than Manstein's autobiography) about a major, yet generally overlooked figure of WWII, this is about the only "game in town".

  • master strategist

    Most complete book about lhe greatest general of ww2, a good insider of both the man and lhe militar genius. Highly recommend it .
