Industry Reviews
"...contains more than 500 images of these men and the lives they led. The author excels at producing well-illustrated essay books such as this and has several others to his credit. While a number of the subjects of this book later sided with the Nazis, the work presents a picture of Germany's military leadership before the nation's descent into fascism."-- "Military Heritage Magazine"
"These profiles offer looks at the person's origins and career, often with critical comments on their abilities, and at times good use of is made of anecdotes that help illustrate their personality."-- "The NYMAS Review"
