What is The Fatal Decisions: Six Decisive Battles of the Second World War from the Viewpoint of the Vanquished about?
xii, 261 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : 24 cm "Collection of essays documenting six of the key Second World War conflicts where the decisions of Adolf Hitler contributed to his eventual downfall. Each theater of operations is written up by a former German military general who was integral in carrying out the uncompromising orders of the Führer at the time. Originally published in 1956, this is an 'other side of the hill' collection of accounts that gives a valuable insight into the machinations of a sycophantic hierarchy immediately surrounding Hitler. Instead, had the dictator paid heed to his highly competent commanders the outcome of the war would have been very different for every one of us ... Siegfried Westphal, whose narrative connects the six accounts, served as Operations Officer under General Erwin Rommel in North Africa, Chief of Staff under General Albrecht Kesselring in Italy, and Chief of Staff to General Gerd von Rundstedt in 1944-45. He is therefore admirably qualified to draw the accounts of his once fellow serving officers together to give a vivid picture of military life under, arguably, the most vicious dictator the world has ever known"--Front flap "Fi
