Patton And Rommel Men of War in the Twentieth Century

George Patton and Erwin Rommel had as different combat experiences as it is possible to have in the same war. Yet Rommel, the assault infantryman, and Patton, the displaced cavalry man, arrived at essentially the same conclusions about mastering industrial war. Mass and machine triumphed only when men allowed them to-only when commanders reacted to numbers and technology, instead of using them as instruments of war. -from Patton and Rommel.Showalter, Dennis E. is the author of 'Patton And Rommel Men of War in the Twentieth Century', published 2005 under ISBN 9780425193464 and ISBN 0425193462.
