Inside the Nazi War Machine: How Three Generals Unleashed Hitler's Blitzkrieg Upon the World - Softcover
Synopsis
"Inside the Nazi War Machine vividly recounts how Rommel, von Manstein and Guderian turned the Blitzkrieg into a fearsome weapon of war in France in 1940, and how Hitler botched his best opportunity to have defeated the BEF, and perhaps defeated Britain.”—Carlo D’Este, author of Patton: A Genius For War
In 1940, as Hitler plotted to conquer Europe, only one nation posed a serious threat to the Third Reich's domination: France. The German command was wary of taking on the most powerful armed force on the continent. But three low-ranking generals—Eric von Manstein, Heinz Guderian, and Erwin Rommel—were about to change the face of modern warfare.
By grouping tanks into juggernauts to slam through enemy lines, the blitzkrieg was born. With this aggressive, single-minded plan, the Nazis bypassed the supposedly impenetrable Maginot Line, charged into the heart of France, and alerted the world that the deadly might of Germany could no longer be ignored.

About the Author
Bevin Alexander is the author of ten books on military history, including How Wars Are Won and How Hitler Could Have Won World War II. He is an adjunct professor at Longwood University in Virginia.
From AudioFile
Alexander tells the story of the German Blitz in Western Europe, focusing on strategy and tactics but also giving detail on operations and individual conflicts. Ray Porter's voice is announcer-like--not charming, perhaps, but clear, energetic, and expressive. His pace is sometimes a bit too quick, given the many names, places, and military details in the text, but he's adept at bringing out the author's feelings and judgments--usually disbelief, scorn, or even sarcasm at the appalling incompetence of the French. Unfortunately, he frequently mispronounces both German and French, which is often confusing and sometimes unintentionally funny. It's a regrettable flaw in what is, overall, an engaging performance.
