Panzer Leader

There is no soberer and better story of how and why the Wehrmacht failed in Russia.... The military detail is touched by sharp descriptions of the fighting and vivid glimpses of the vague, distorted, half-life of men at war. --New York Times Book Review His contempt for the Nazis is never far from the surface.... What the general does not say about the great moral and human issues of his era is as revealing as anything ever written about the mentality of the German officer corps. --New Yorker Guderian's memoirs belong to the classics of military literature, comparable to Grant's or Sherman's. --Newsweek Panzer Leader belongs on the shelf of every serious student of this violent twentieth century. --John S. D. Eisenhower This brilliant memoir is a mesmerizing read.... A great book by a great soldier. --Stephen E. Ambrose
