Erwin Rommel - TEXT IN FRENCH. Paris]: Perrin, 2009, 518pp., . TEXT IN FRENCH. - Erwin Rommel est le plus connu des généraux allemands de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Plus de soixante ans après sa mort, il personnifie encore le soldat allemand exemplaire, qui inspire le respect aussi bien pour sa formidable maîtrise de l'art de la guerre que pour s'être montré réservé avec le régime nazi. Or, à la lumière des archives et notamment des correspondances privées de Rommel, comme des rapports officiels, Benoît Lemay remet en question cette image apologétique. En réalité, Rommel a été un partisan convaincu du Führer qui lui est resté fidèle jusqu'à la fin et sa gloire est redevable en partie à la propagande nazie qui en a fait un « dieu de la guerre » issu du peuple. Mais cela n'aurait pas suffi à faire du « Renard du désert » un héros capable d'inspirer Hollywood : l'adversaire britannique a contribué presque autant à la fabrication du « mythe Rommel ». C'est l'histoire paradoxale d'un soldat d'exception au service d'un régime criminel que raconte ce livre. Benoît Lemay est spécialiste d'histoire militaire et de l'Allemagne. Il a publié Erich von Manstein : le stratège de Hider. 978-2-262-02452-9 / 24,80 Prix France. ISBN 9782262024529.

"This book is a must-read for all those who wish to understand Germanys greatest World War II commander, for both his strategic brilliance and moral ambiguity" History Book ClubLemay, a civilian scholar and one of the best of the rising generation of military historians, synergizes Mansteins campaigns and his role in the Final Solution. World War II magazinean objective analysis not only of Von Manstein's campaigns but also of his participation in the criminal aspects of Nazi Germany's war effort. Much to the author's credit, he does not flinch when he exposes Von Manstein's participation in the Final Solution and an intense examination of the Field Marshal's politics, attitudes and behavior towards his enemies. An excellent biography of a flawed yet brilliant soldier. The Past in Reviewwell researched, convincingly reasoned analysis of a general widely considered one of World War IIs great commanders. Publishers WeeklyTo many students of World War II, von Manstein is already considered to be the greatest commander of the conflict, if not the entire 20th century. He devised the plan that conquered France in 1940, thence led an infantry corps in that campaign; at the head of a panzer corps he reached the gates of Leningrad in 1941, then took command of 11th Army and conquered Sevastopol and the Crimea. After destroying another Soviet army in the north, he was given command of the ad hoc Army Group Don to retrieve the German calamity at Stalingrad, whereupon he launched a counteroffensive that, against all odds, restored the German front.Though an undoubtedly brilliant military leader whose achievements, considering the forces at his disposal, cast those of Patton, Rommel, MacArthur, and Montgomery in the pale surprisingly little is known about Manstein himself, save for his own memoir and the accolades of his contemporaries. In this book we finally have a full portrait of the man, including his campaigns, and an analysis of what precisely kept a genius such as Manstein harnessed to such a dark cause.

KEYNOTE A must-read for all those who wish to understand Germany's primary effort in World War II, as well as its greatest commander To many close students of World War II, von Manstein is already considered to be the greatest commander of the war, if not the entire 20th century. He devised the plan that conquered France in 1940, thence led an infantry corps in that campaign; at the head of a panzer corps he reached the gates of Leningrad in 1941, then took command of 11th Army and conquered Sevastopol and the Crimea. After destroying another Soviet army in the north, he was given command of the ad hoc Army Group Don to retrieve the German calamity at Stalingrad, whereupon he launched a counteroffensive that, against all odds, restored the German front. Afterward he commanded Army Group South, nearly crushing the Soviets at Kursk, and then skillfully resisted their relentless attacks, as he traded territory for coherence in the East. Though an undoubtedly brilliant military leader-whose achievements, considering the forces at his disposal, cast those of Patton, Rommel, MacArthur, and Montgomery in the pale-surprisingly little is known about Manstein himself, save for his own memoir and the accolades of his contemporaries. In this book we finally have a full portrait of the man, including his campaigns, and an analysis of what precisely kept a genius such as Manstein harnessed to such a dark cause. A great military figure, but a man who lacked a razor-sharp political sense, Manstein was very much representative of the Germano-Prussian military caste of his time. Though Hitler was uneasy about the influence he had gained throughout the German Army, Manstein ultimately declined to join any clandestine plots against his Fuhrer, believing they would simply cause chaos, the one thing he abhorred. Even though he constantly opposed Hitler on operational details, he considered it a point of loyalty to simply stand with the German state, in whatever form. It is thus through Manstein foremost that the attitudes of other high-ranking officers who fought during the Second World War, particularly on the Eastern Front, can be illuminated. Manstein sought only to serve Germany and was a military man, not a politician. Though not bereft of personal opinions, his primary allegiances were, first, to Deutschland, and second, to the soldiers under his command, who had been committed against an enemy many times their strength. With his grasp of strategy, tactics, and combined arms technology, he proved more than worthy of their confidence. This book is a must-read for all those who wish to understand Germany's primary effort in World War II, as well as its greatest commander. AUTHOR: Benoit Lemay is a specialist of 19th and 20th century military history and international relations. His studies and publications deal notably with foreign policy and security in contemporary German and, recently, on the role of the German army in the Third Reich. He is also the author of Erwin Rommel.
