About This Item
NY: E. P. Dutton, 1977. reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. David Irving’s The Trail of the Fox is the best work on Rommel ever written. The circumstances around Rommel’s involvement with the attempt on Hitler’s life, which is the most speculated aspect of Rommel’s life, and how the Gestapo came to believe Rommel was involved, have not been made clear in most of the historiography on Rommel. Irving pieces together what really happened most effectively. There are so many strengths of this book, of which the greatest is probably the fact Irving had access to Rommel’s dairy and many of his letters, which he got permission from the family to view. Other items he found in collections in the United States, England, and Germany. Since he worked on this in the 1970’s he also was able to interview a number of German officers who were still alive that knew and served with Rommel. The whole work is the way historical research should be done; totally reliant on primary source material, and ignores secondary sources that often use conjecture or just repeat incorrect narratives from earlier books. Every source is from people who fought the war; Germans, Italians, British, French and American officers who were in these campaigns and had either first hand observation of Rommel or were major participants like Eisenhower, Churchill, Goebbels, etc. Clean copy.
