About This Item
Novato, CA: Presidio Press, 1989. First edition thus. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Novato, CA: Presidio Press, 1989. First edition thus. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches: pp. 368.

Very light edge wear, slight creasing to dust jacket. Pages are toned at edges. Text is unmarked. Binding crisp, tight.
"General von Senger's book is one of the most intersting memoirs of the commanders in the Second World War, and in some important respects the most illuminating of all. No other has provided such an instructive picture of the battlefield conditions and the tactical problems of that war. At the same time it is outstanding in the light it sheds on the diulemma and on the mind-workings of a soldier, brought up in the atmosphere of German culture and in the traditions of the old Army, who found himself serving a Nazi regime that was profoundly repugnant to his instincts and his education..."
