by Correlli Barnett (Author)
Of all the groups in German life that Hitler successfully manoeuvred into supporting his personal quest for domination, the leadership of the Army was the most important. In Hitler's Generals, Correlli Barnett has gathered together an outstanding team of military historians to write about the characters and careers of twenty-six generals. Hitler's Generals probes the central mystery of why a generation of able commanders and staff officers from the most deeply professional officers in the world become subservient to Hitler's purposes and why even the best of them failed to deflect Hitler from his disastrous decisions.
