In Libya and Egypt in 1941 and 1942, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel achieved immortality as the Desert Fox, battling and usually defeating numerically superior enemies. Until now, historians have generally overlooked the talented cast of characters who supported Rommel during this campaign. Distinguished military historian Samuel Mitcham recounts the battles of the Afrika Korps through the men who served Rommel as staff officers and commanders of divisions, regiments, and battalions--soldiers like Ludwig Cr?well and Walter Nehring, two of World War II?s best panzer commanders, and Ernst-G?nther Baade, who wore a kilt and carried a broadsword into battle. AUTHOR: Samuel W. Mitcham Jr., a former army helicopter pilot and professor of history, has written more than twenty books on World War II, including The Battle of Sicily (978-0-8117-3403-5), Retreat to the Reich (978-0-8117-3384-7), and The German Defeat in the East (978-0-8117-3371-7). He lives in Louisiana. SELLING POINTS: New perspective on the most famous campaign of the legendary Desert Fox Details on the contributions and animosities of Rommel?s subordinates Includes accounts of Tobruk, Gazala, El Alamein, and other battles 43 b/w photos
