Bücher von Milton Shulman

Defeat in the West, first published in 1948, is a well-documented, comprehensive account of Germany's loss in World War Two, based on author Milton Shulman's interviews with top German generals, corroborated by his fact-checking research (Shulman was an officer on the Intelligence Staff of the Canadian Army). As stated in the Introduction, the book's objectives were to tell the story of the defeat of the German Wehrmacht (Armed Forces) in western Europe, to investigate the causes that brought about that defeat, and to show how soldiers, from commanders to foot-soldiers, reacted to the bitter experience of defeat. Defeat in the West, unlike many books in the genre, succeeds in making this important topic understandable and is a true pleasure to read. Included are 7 maps.
