Kenneth Macksey's highly regarded biography of Generaloberst Heinz
Guderian gives clear insight into the mind and motives of the father
of modern tank warfare. It is now revised and updated and appears as
the latest addition to the Greenhill Military Paperback series.
Guderian was a man of ideas equipped with the ability to turn
inspiration into reality. A master of strategy and tactics, he was the
officer most responsible for creating blitzkrieg in World War II. He
built the Panzer Force in the face of opposition from the German
General Staff, and personally led the lightning campaigns by tanks and
aircraft that put a large part of Europe under German domination.
Kenneth Macksey, a tank man himself for over twenty years, reveals
Guderian as a brilliant rebel in search of ideals, and a general whose
personality, genius and achievements far transcended those of Rommel.
As well as throwing light on the crucial campaigns in Poland, France
and Russia, this biography illuminates the struggles within the German
hierarchy, and examines why Guderian was so admired by some while
denigrated by others.
