Infantry Attacks

Written in early 1930's. First English publication during WW2 in 1944.

Rommel’s highly acclaimed analysis of infantry tactics

A superb insight into his wartime experiences

With a personal introduction by Rommel’s son Manfred

 

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel exerted an almost hypnotic influence not only over his own troops but also over the Allied soldiers of the Eighth Army in World War II. Even when the legend surrounding his invincibility was overturned at El Alamein, the aura surrounding Rommel himself remained unsullied.

 

In this classic study of the art of war, Rommel analyzes the tactics that lay behind his success. First published in 1937, it quickly became a highly regarded military textbook and also brought its author to the attention of Adolf Hitler. Rommel was to subsequently advance through the ranks to the high command in World War II.
