The Rommel Papers is the collected writings by the German World War II field marshal Erwin Rommel published in 1953. The book included Rommel's writings of the war edited by the British strategist and historian B. H. Liddell Hart the former Wehrmacht officer Fritz Bayerlein who served on Rommel's staff in North Africa and Rommel's widow and son. The volume contained an introduction and commentary by Liddell Hart. Liddell Hart had a personal interest in the work: by having coaxed Rommel's widow to include material favorable to himself he could present Rommel as his "pupil" when it came to mobile armored warfare. Thus Liddell Hart's "theory of indirect approach" became a precursor to the German blitzkrieg "lightning war". The controversy was described by the political scientist John Mearsheimer in his work The Weight of History who concluded that by "putting words in the mouths of German Generals and manipulating history" Liddell Hart was in a position to show that he had been at the root of the dramatic German successes in 1940. The historian Mark Connelly argues that The Rommel Papers was one of the two foundational works that lead to a "Rommel renaissance" the other being Desmond Young's biography Rommel: The Desert Fox. The book contributed to the perception of Rommel as a brilliant commander; in an introduction Liddell Hart drew comparisons between Rommel and Lawrence of Arabia "two masters of desert warfare. Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel 15 November 1891 - 14 October 1944 was a German general during World War II. Popularly known as the Desert Fox he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht armed forces of Nazi Germany as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic and the army of Imperial Germany. Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics Infantry Attacks drawing on his experiences in that war. In World War II he commanded the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the ablest tank commanders of the war and earned him the nickname "the Desert Fox". Among his British adversaries he had a reputation for chivalry and his phrase "war without hate" has been uncritically used to describe the North African campaign. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944. With the Nazis gaining power in Germany Rommel gradually came to accept the new regime with historians giving different accounts on the specific period and his motivations. He was a supporter of Adolf Hitler at least until near the end of the war if not necessarily sympathetic to the party and the paramilitary forces associated with it. In 1944 Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Because of Rommel's status as a national hero Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly instead of immediately executing him as many other plotters were. Rommel was given a choice between committing suicide in return for assurances that his reputation would remain intact and that his family would not be persecuted following his death or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose the former and committed suicide using a cyanide pill. Rommel was given a state funeral and it was announced that he had succumbed to his injuries from the strafing of his staff car in Normandy. Rommel has become a larger-than-life figure in both Allied and Nazi propaganda and in postwar popular culture with numerous authors considering him an apolitical brilliant commander and a victim of Nazi Germany. Rommel's reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interest of the West German rearmament and reconciliation between the former enemies - the United Kingdom and the United States on one side and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. Several of Rommel's former subordinates notably his chief of staff Hans Speidel played key roles in German rearmament and integration into NATO in the postwar era. The German Army's largest military base the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks Augustdorf is named in his honor. The longtime mayor of Stuttgart Germany and namesake of Stuttgart Airport Manfred Rommel was his son. Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover

The Sword and the Pen:

1978181741London: Cassell & Company 1978. First UK edition the copy of Kenneth Parker Liddell Hart's long-time editor at Cassell and his literary executor. Loosely inserted is a December 1973 autograph letter signed from Adrian Liddell Hart to Parker expressing a hope that Cassell will acquire the UK rights to his father's book. "As his publisher as well as his friend I felt you should be the most appropriate person to consider the publication of a book originally planned by him." Liddell Hart began compiling this anthology in 1968 but the project remained incomplete at the time of his death. The project was completed by Adrian drawing on Liddell Hart's proposed outline the notes made in the margins of books from his library and his correspondence with historians and military figures. Parker's 7 January 1974 reply a file copy of which is also loosely inserted expresses his view - in the event only transitory - that Cassell cannot publish the work. "It is all very unfair because there is no doubt that had it been wholly your father's selection and your father's commentaries then we should have published it like a shot; but without that we have to treat the collection purely as an anthology and that is where the thing falls down. Anthologies really are the very devil to sell however well chosen the contents. There is I think a very real danger that if we were to publish the book some parts of the trade and certainly some of the reviewers would infer that we were trying to 'pass off' something under your father's name. We could put 'Adrian' in letters three inches high and 'Liddell Hart' in twelve point but I'm afraid that wouldn't make the slightest difference." Octavo. Original red boards spine lettered in black. With dust jacket. Spine ends lightly sunned top edge and margin of last few leaves foxed; jacket unclipped spotting at head: a near-fine copy in very good jacket. hardcover
