Description

New York: Osprey, 2010. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. 7x0x9. First edition. A fine copy. 2010 Soft Cover. 64 pp. Erich von Manstein was one of the most successful German commanders of World War II. His military mind proved outstanding in many a conflict but perhaps his greatest triumph was his ingenious operational plan that led to the rapid defeat of France in May 1940. Manstein also showed great skill under adversity by commanding a furious rebuff to the Soviet armies in 1943, whilst Germany were retreating. However, his skill could not reverse Germany's declining fortunes and Manstein's frequent disagreement's with Hitler over military strategy led to his dismissal. Robert Forczyk tells the story of one of Germany's most valuable military talents, from his early years to his post- war conviction and his later career.

Media reviews

"In all, it is a fascinating look at one of Germany's more capable yet somewhat misunderstood commanders. A most interesting read and one that I am sure you will enjoy." - Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness

"Robert Forczyk writes about one of Germany’s most important and controversial military figures of World War II, Erich von Manstein. He tells the story of his military talents from his early years to his post war conviction and his later career ... Manstein’s military reputation was so revered that in 1944 he appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. This book will be of special interest to World War II historians, students and enthusiasts alike." -www.mataka.org (October 2010)
