World War II At Night

The World War II At Night Group will discuss Patton, Montgomery, Rommel: Masters of War by Terry Brighton (Three Rivers, $17.00).  Brighton presents a study of the land war in the North African and European theaters, as well as their chief commanders--three men who also happened to be the most compelling dramatis personae of World War II.  He illuminates the personal motivations and historical events that propelled the three men's careers: how Patton's, Montgomery's, and Rommel's Great War experiences helped to mold their style of command--and how, exactly, they managed to apply their arguably megalomaniacal personalities (and hitherto unrecognized political acumen and tact) to advance their careers and strategic vision.  Opening new avenues of inquiry into the lives and careers of three men, Brighton answers numerous lingering and controversial questions.
