Publisher's Summary
This is the strange and fascinating life of Erwin Rommel, from his days as a youth in Imperial Germany - when he had a child out of wedlock with an early girlfriend - through his lauded military exploits during World War I to his death by suicide during World War II, after he attempted a failed coup against Hitler.
Rommel was a man of contradictions: a soldier who wrote a best-selling book about World War I, a commander who went from commanding Hitler's bodyguard to trying to kill him, and a serious military mind who was known for participating in practical jokes.
In Desert Fox, author Samuel Mitcham (Bust Hell Wide Open) confronts the truth about Rommel and takes a close look at his military actions and reflections.

History without Bias.
The Military career of Erwin Rommel is related ‘straight down the line’. It is history without bias. On listening to this well researched and well narrated book one can appreciate the outstanding character of this renowned general, who gained the respect of his troops, his countrymen and many of the allies whilst constrained by one of the most unheeding leaders of all time.
