Overview

In North Africa in 1941-42, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps won immortality while battling and usually defeating numerically superior enemies at places like Tobruk. Until now, historians have overlooked the talented--and colorful--cast of characters who supported the Desert Fox during this pivotal campaign. This entertaining and enlightening volume recounts Rommel's battles through the officers who served under him--soldiers like Ludwig Cruewell and Walter Nehring, two of Germany's best panzer commanders, and Ernst-Guenther Baade, who wore a kilt and carried a broadsword into battle.
