In Patton, Montgomery, Rommel, one of Britains most accomplished military scholars presents an unprecedented study of the land war in the North African and European theaters, as well as their chief commanders—three men who also happened to be the most compelling dramatis personae of World War II.Beyond spellbinding depictions of pivotal confrontations at El Alamein, Monte Cassino, and the Ardennes forest, author-scholar Terry Brighton illuminates the personal motivations and historical events that propelled the three mens careers how Pattons, Montgomerys, and Rommels Great War experiences helped to mold their style of command—and how, exactly, they managed to apply their arguably megalomaniacal personalities and hitherto unrecognized political acumen and tact to advance their careers and strategic vision.
