Kenneth Macksey's highly regarded biography of Generaloberst Heinz Guderian gives clear insight into the mind and motives of the father of modern tank warfare. It is now revised and updated and appears as the latest addition to the Greenhill Military Paperback series. Guderian was a man of ideas equipped with the ability to turn inspiration into reality. A master of strategy and tactics, he was the officer most responsible for creating blitzkrieg in World War II. He built the Panzer Force in the face of opposition from the German General Staff, and personally led the lightning campaigns by tanks and aircraft that put a large part of Europe under German domination. Kenneth Macksey, a tank man himself for over twenty years, reveals Guderian as a brilliant rebel in search of ideals, and a general whose personality, genius and achievements far transcended those of Rommel. As well as throwing light on the crucial campaigns in Poland, France and Russia, this biography illuminates the struggles within the German hierarchy, and examines why Guderian was so admired by some while denigrated by others.
