Specificatii
Arthur Goodzeit Award Throughout 1943, the German army, heirs to a
military tradition that demanded and perfected relentless offensive
operations, succumbed to the realities of its own overreach and the
demands of twentieth-century industrialized warfare. In his new
study, prizewinning author Robert Citino chronicles this weakening
Wehrmacht, now fighting desperately on the defensive but still
remarkably dangerous and lethal. Drawing on his impeccable command
of German-language sources, Citino offers fresh, vivid, and
detailed treatments of key campaigns during this fateful year: the
Allied landings in North Africa, General von Manstein's great
counterstroke in front of Kharkov, the German attack at Kasserine
Pass, the titanic engagement of tanks and men at Kursk, the Soviet
counteroffensives at Orel and Belgorod, and the Allied landings in
Sicily and Italy. Through these events, he reveals how a military
establishment historically configured for violent aggression
reacted when the tables were turned; how German commanders viewed
their newest enemy, the U.S. Army, after brutal fighting against
the British and Soviets; and why, despite their superiority in
materiel and manpower, the Allies were unable to turn 1943 into a
much more decisive year. Applying the keen operational analysis for
which he is so highly regarded, Citino contends that virtually
every flawed German decision--to defend Tunis, to attack at Kursk
and then call off the offensive, to abandon Sicily, to defend Italy
high up the boot and then down much closer to the toe--had strong
supporters among the army's officer corps. He looks at all of these
engagements from the perspective of each combatant nation and also
establishes beyond a shadow of a doubt the synergistic interplay
between the fronts. Ultimately, Citino produces a grim portrait of
the German officer corps, dispelling the longstanding tendency to
blame every bad decision on Hitler. Filled with telling vignettes
and sharp portraits and copiously documented, The Wehrmacht
Retreats is a dramatic and fast-paced narrative that will engage
military historians and general readers alike.
