Summary: Privileged Interviews Post WW2
Comment: The Author's wonderful opportunity to interview German generals post WW 2 has allowed him to illuminate both strengths and weaknesses of the leadership of the Wehrmacht and its' use of strategy and tactics. Early portions of the book deal with the rise of Hitler and how the miltary leadership dealt with this (or didn't!). Their is no doubt that naivety and/or complacense on the part of the german military heirarchy allowed for Hitler's increasing control of the military. Discussion of the players of the game and how they fared both in a battle sense and in dealing with an increasingly mercurial Hitler are well covered. The book has an easy readability, but seems more aimed at a general audience rather than military enthusiasts. For historical purposes, it is landmark piece that shouldn't be missed, but it lacks the in depth coverage that I hoped it would possess - you must look elsewhere for this.

Summary: Recommended For Critical Readers of History Only
Comment: Liddell-Hart had an absolutely unique opporunity of interviewing a number of Wermacht general officers during their incarceration. Their commentary is, in the main, candid. However, one must beware of their validation of some of Liddell-Hart's theories of warfare.
As is the case with any historical work, one should endeavor to substantiate, by comparison with other authoritative sources, any information presented.

Summary: interviews with the other side's generals
Comment: This is a must have book for any body who is interested in WWII. The interviews are with the German Generals during captivity, and for the most part is one of the most direct way of seeing their views/opinions - granted with a bit of hindsight. Very informative and well done. I do agree with one of the reviewers who mentioned that it is written in a manner that further inflates the author's ego, but one can put up with that to read the interviews. Also it is presented in a clear easy to read manner not overburdening the reader with too much details, but rather just the events in the generals own opinions/words {memoirs and such are better places for too much details}.
This also serves as a nice preliminary before continuing on to reading some of the memoirs from "the other side".
