Rommel's Book: Infantry Attacks

Sometimes you pass through a "discounted" bookstore and a diamond pokes its head of of the dust. I had such a moment yesterday. To be honest I think would probably have paid the RRP as I have wanted this one for a while (see below, the man himself in "action pose"): 

Published in 1937, a certain German Chancellor (Hitler) read it and invited the author for a conversation in 1938 and his patronage was set. In 1944 it was translated into the English language by the Americans (a Major H.A. de Weerd with the immortal quote "this translation was not prepared with the author's sanction" [as he was at that time fighting the Allies in Normandy]). Even the foreword by his son (from 1990) was enlightening with the quote from his father (Rommel) to his son (Manfred): "in order to become a hero one must above all survive"!
