Description

Lost Victories:The War Memoirs of Hitler's...General by Erich Von Manstein. Instead, Hitler removed him from command. Field Marshal Erich von Manstein described his book as a personal narrative of a soldier, discussing only those matters that had direct bearing on events in the military field. If Hitler had followed von Manstein's advice, the world might be in quite a different shape today. Instead, Hitler removed him from command. Originally published in Germany in 1955, and in England and the United States in 1958, this classic memoir of World War II by a man who was an acknowledged military genius, is now made available again. Field Marshal Erich von Manstein described his book as a personal narrative of a soldier, discussing only those matters that had direct bearing on events in the military field. The essential thing, as he wrote, is to "know how the main personalities thought and reacted to events." This is what he tells us in this book.
