Rommel
: The Desert Fox
Desmond Young
A classic work widely regarded as the best book on Rommel and the Desert
War, it is written by a Brigadier who personally witnessed much of the
action described and diligently reseached his subject after war's end.
The book may well leave you with a sense that this was a soldier the likes
of which is seen perhaps once in several generations.

The
Desert Fox in Normandy : Rommel's Defense of Fortress Europe
Samuel W., Jr Mitcham
December 1943 to July 17, 1944
As 1943 came to a close, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel was given his
most challenging and important assignment to date--to repel the impending
Allied invasion. The German high command anticipated that 1944 would be
the year for the long-awaited amphibious cross-channel invasion. This invasion
could be a critical strategic opportunity if the Germans successfully repelled
it, but a failure to do so would severely hinder their ability to reestablish
military superiority in Europe. Covering the Battle of Normandy from the
German point of view, this book examines the impact that the "Desert Fox"
had on the strengthening of German defenses in Normandy and elsewhere.
Dubbed by the Propaganda Ministry as "The Atlantic Wall," Rommel realized
how deceptive this term was upon his inspection of German defenses in 1943.
Convinced that the Allies knew more about the actual state of German readiness
than many of his officers did, the Desert Fox set out to fortify German
positions.

The
Armies of Rommel
by George Forty
Brilliant tactician, daring commander, and strong-willed leader: Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel's battlefield maneuvers remain unsurpassed. The Desert
Fox superbly employed blitzkrieg techniques and distinguished himself in
the most perilous campaigns. A noted historian, and former tank commander
like Rommel himself, probes the legendary fighter's military life, his
forces, armaments, and strategies. Each phase of the wartime operation
comes into clear focus, including the layout of Hitler's organization,
staffing, German Army battle dress, plans for each assault, and available
arsenal. A wealth of facts and archival photographs highlight this in-depth
study, as well as Rommel's complicated feelings about the Nazi cause. Amazon.com

his conclusions based on his intimate knowledge of men on Rommel's staff
and his access to Rommel's papers, including letters from the general to
his wife. Here, for the first time in paperback, is the exciting story
of how the world learned about the way the "Desert Fox" met his death.

Rommel
and Caporetto
by Eileen Wilks, John Wilks
Book Description
Rommel was but a lieutenant in 1917, assigned to one of the German
mountain units sent to Italy for the new offensive. As the German and Austrian
troops launched their surprise attack at Caporetto, Rommel often found
himself in command of many times the number of troops normally led by one
of his rank. Rommel led mountain infantry and machine-gunners in many daring
advances over some of the world's roughest terrain, on one occasion taking
9,000 prisoners in a single day. Rommel came away from the campaign with
Germany's most coveted decoration, and had laid the foundation of a legend.
John and Eileen Wilks have been studying the Caporetto campaign for
many years, and have drawn upon official records to reveal the influential
early days of one of history's greatest military commanders.
