Patton and Rommel served their countries through two World Wars. Their temperaments, both on and off the battlefield, were overwhelmingly contrary--but their approach to modern warfare was remarkably similar. Written by a prominent military historian, this book takes a look at both figures, intertwining the stories of the paths they took and the decisions they made during the course of the Second World War--and compares the lives and careers of two men whose military tactics redirected the course of history.--From publisher description.

I'm also not sure I was convinced of one of Showalter's main arguments, that Patton and Rommel are held in higher esteem by the military of the country they fought against then the military of their own. Showalter has undoubtedly done more research into this than I have (I have spoken to exactly 0 German generals about Patton and while I have spoken to two American Generals the subject of Rommel never came up), but because there is no deviation from the story, we are forced to take his word for it.
