Title: World War One Memoir
Product review: Reading the memoirs of German generals is usually an exercise in futility. Those that came out of WW2 are self serving justifications for the unjustifiable. Most spend time blaming Hiltler for defeat while denighing responsibility for either the German agression or the mistakes of German strategy. Rommel's Attack (actually Infantry Attacks) is from a different time an does not suffer from these defects. Rommel recounts his experiences on the Italian front in WW1 and draws lessons that a perceptive reader will realize effected his conduct of the Desert War in WW2. As the only statement of Rommel's tatical thought it is of interest in an of itself. Its original thinking, unlike Guderian's derivative Achtung Panzer, also recomends it.
