Stated First American Edition hardcover with dust jacket. 22 maps, 2 large folding maps and colored front and rear endpaper reproductions of sketch-maps by Rommel.

Presidio, San Rafael, California, 1979. Friedrich Ruge was Rommel's naval adviser, making him to be qualified to bring out the man behind the legend. In the months before the Normandy invasion the author accompanied Rommel on his tours of the French coast. He was a first-hand witness to the frustration and despair that frequently overcame German officers at the impossibility of the task imposed on them by Hitler's irrational optimism. Defeat was certain yet Rommel did his best to defend the coast against imminent invasion. Implicated in the assassination attempt against Hitler, Rommel was secretly murdered, then given the mockery of a state funeral. The author recalls how Rommel carried a heavy emotional burden: "He felt responsible for the fate of the whole nation." 1" D x 6.5" W x 9.25" H. 3. Attacks by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. Athena Press, 1979. Stated 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Attacks is an accurate English translation of Rommel's World War I military Classic, Infanterie Greift. This is the only unabridged English edition that corrected previous flaws of other translations. Rommel describes his Stoßtruppen (shock troops) tactics, which used speed, deception, and deep penetration into enemy territory to surprise and overwhelm. 1" D x 6.25" W x 9.5" H.
