Sinossi
Due uomini incarnarono la leadership britannica e tedesca nella seconda guerra mondiale: bernard montgomery ed erwin rommel. Combatterono una serie di duelli straordinari in diversi teatri di guerra che li consacrarono come due dei più grandi capitani della loro epoca. La nostra comprensione della leadership in battaglia fu alterata per sempre dalle loro elettrizzanti qualità personali. Da allora, gli storici hanno valutato la loro straordinaria leadership, personalità e abilità. Le carriere di entrambi iniziarono alla periferia dell'establishment militare e rappresentano la prima volta in cui i comandanti militari usarono proattivamente e sistematicamente (e furono usati da) i media mentre raggiungevano la notorietà, prima in nord africa, poi in normandia. Dinamiche e lungimiranti, le loro vite rappresentano anche uno studio di orgoglio, propaganda e nostalgia. Caddick-adams traccia e confronta i loro talenti militari e le loro personalità in battaglia. Ognuno portò qualcosa di speciale ai propri comandi. L'avanzata mozzafiato di rommel nel maggio-giugno 1940 fu niente meno che ispirata. Montgomery è un dono per i guru della leadership nel modo in cui prese il comando di un'ottava armata demoralizzata nell'agosto del 1942 e la condusse alla vittoria solo due mesi dopo. Questo avvincente lavoro è sia accademico che divertente e segna il debutto di un nuovo importante talento nella biografia storica.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Two men came to personify British and German generalship in the Second World War: Bernard Montgomery and Erwin Rommel. They fought a series of extraordinary duels across several theatres of war which established them as two of the greatest captains of their age. Our understanding of leadership in battle was altered for ever by their electrifying personal qualities. Ever since, historians have assessed their outstanding leadership, personalities and skill. The careers of both began on the periphery of the military establishment and represent the first time military commanders proactively and systematically used (and were used by) the media as they came to prominence, first in North Africa, then in Normandy. Dynamic and forward-thinking, their lives also represent a study of pride, propaganda and nostalgia. Caddick-Adams tracks and compares their military talents and personalities in battle. Each brought something special to their commands. Rommel's breathtaking advance in May-June 1940 was nothing less than inspired. Montgomery is a gift for leadership gurus in the way he took over a demoralised Eighth Army in August 1942 and led it to victory just two months later. This compelling work is both scholarly and entertaining and marks the debut of a major new talent in historical biography. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004212791
