Walther Model : leadership, strategy, conflict
"Walther Model was the youngest Generalfeldmarschall in the Wehrmacht in World War II, and Hitler's favourite commander. He was a tough and tenacious leader, particularly when on the defensive, and enjoyed considerable acclaim throughout his stellar career. Model really made his mark late in the war, when time was already running out for the Third Reich, but time and again he was rushed from one crumbling front to the next and succeeded in temporarily restoring the situation. Model earned himself the nickname 'Hitler's fireman' and deserves recognition as one of the great defensive commanders of modern military history."--Back cover
