Field Marshal Erwin Rommels heroic opposition to Hitler in 1944 cost him his life. In this intriguing, well-paced tale of a journalistic coup, Marshall, the first to discover the real events behind Rommels death, tells how he learned the facts from Rommels widow and delves into the great generals background and death. He arrived at his conclusions based on his intimate knowledge of men on Rommels staff and his access to Rommels papers, including letters from the general to his wife. Here, for the first time in paperback, is the exciting story of how the world learned about the way the Desert Fox met his death.

We have in Rommel a very daring and skilful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general. Winston Churchill, House of Commons, January 1942
Rommel was a military phenomenon that can occur only at rare intervals; men of such bravery and daring survive only with exceptional fortune. He was as brave on the battlefield as Ney, with much better brains; as dashing as Murat, with more balance; as cool and quick a tactician as Wellington. Anyone studying the facts... will recognize him as a fine character and great soldier: Among the chosen few, Among the very brave, the very true. There has always been some mystery about his end, how it came about.... Field Marshal Earl Archibald P. Wavell
Rommel had a feel for the battlefield like no other man. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
