Official synopsis Publisher
The classic, bestselling account of World War II by the celebrated German general (“Deserves to be on the shelf of every serious student of the violent twentieth century”–John S. D. Eisenhower)
General Heinz Guderian’s revolutionary strategic vision and his skill in armored combat brought Germany its initial victories during World War II. Combining Guderian’s land offensive with Luftwaffe attacks, the Nazi Blitzkrieg decimated the defenses of Poland, Norway, France–and, very nearly, Russia–at the war’s outset. But in 1941, when Guderian advised that ground forces should take a step back, Hitler dismissed him.
In these pages, the outspoken general shares his candid point of view on what would have led Germany to victory, and what ensured that it didn’t. In addition to providing a rare inside look at key members of the Nazi party, Guderian reveals in detail how he developed the Panzer tank forces and orchestrated their various campaigns, from the breakthrough at Sedan to his drive to the Channel coast that virtually decided the Battle of France.
Panzer Leader became a bestseller within one year of its original publication in 1952 and has since been recognized as a classic account of the greatest conflict of our time.
