Books like Monty and Rommel by Peter Caddick-Adams

A gripping and intimate account of the Second World War, from its start to its conclusion and beyond, capturing the complex and tragic events of one of the most pivotal eras in world history.

El 6 de junio de 1944, el Día D, ha quedado marcado en la historia como una de las fechas claves de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un hito logístico y militar en el que participaron todos los ejércitos aliados y que supuso el principio del fin de la maquinaria militar alemana. El desembarco en las playas de Normandía fue un éxito casi perfecto, pero le siguieron tres meses de encarnizada lucha hasta que la defensa alemana colapsó y se pudo liberar París. Seis ejércitos en Normandía es un magistral relato de una de las campañas militares más relevantes de la segunda guerra mundial. John Keegan, uno de los más prestigiosos historiadores militares británicos, introduce al lector en los combates en los que se vieron implicados los seis ejércitos que participaron en la campaña, en las decisiones tácticas de los comandantes y en las experiencias traumáticas a las que se tuvieron que enfrentar los soldados.

In this book Charles Messenger has given us his product of deep research, drawing a broad picture of the story of the German nation from the end of one World War to the end of the next. The main thread running through it is drawn from the life and achievements of a man who, despite his close personal association with Adolf Hitler, his own humble origins and his intellectual limitations, was to prove an effective, if unusual soldier who rose to command an SS Panzer Army in the Battle of the Bulge. It is impossible to dissociate SS-Oberstgruppenführer und General der Waffen SS Josef (Sepp) Dietrich from the excesses of the Hitler regime. His position was far too close to the heart of the Naxi Party and to Hitler himself for him to have been other than an accessory after the fact of much that befell, despite his protestation that he was first and foremost a non-political soldier. - Jacket flap.
