PATTON, MONTGOMERY, ROMMEL(ISBN=9780307461551) 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

In Patton, Montgomery, Rommel, one of Britain's most

accomplished military scholars presents an unprecedented study of

the land war in the North African and European theaters, as well as

their chief commanders—three men who also happened to be the most

compelling dramatis personae of World War II.

Beyond spellbinding depictions of pivotal confrontations at El

Alamein, Monte Cassino, and the Ardennes forest, author-scholar

Terry Brighton illuminates the personal motivations and historical

events that propelled the three men's careers: how Patton's,

Montgomery's, and Rommel's Great War experiences helped to mold

their style of command—and how, exactly, they managed to apply

their arguably megalomaniacal personalities (and hitherto

unrecognized political acumen and tact) to advance their careers

and strategic vision.

Opening new avenues of inquiry into the lives and careers of three

men widely profiled by scholars and popular historians alike,

Brighton definitively answers numerous lingering and controversial

questions: Was Patton really as vainglorious in real life as he was

portrayed to be on the silver screen?—and how did his tireless

advocacy of "mechanized cavalry" forever change the face of war?

Was Monty's dogged publicity-seeking driven by his own need for

recognition or by his desire to claim for Britain a leadership role

in postwar global order?—and how did this prickly "commoner" manage

to earn affection and esteem from enlisted men and nobility alike?

How might the war have ended if Rommel had had more tanks?—and what

fundamental philosophical difference between him and Hitler made

such an outcome virtually impossible?

Abetted by new primary source material and animated by Terry

Brighton's incomparable storytelling gifts, Patton, Montgomery,

Rommel offers critical new interpretations of the Second World

War as it was experienced by its three most flamboyant,

controversial, and influential commanders—and augments our

understanding of each of their perceptions of war and

leadership.
