Very interesting book from the father of Mechanized warfare. He drew much from the British and French Tank use during WW1, he synthesized all of their Tank theories, added some revolutionary ideas of his own and shocked the world at the time with a new kind of warfare. This book is very enlightening, the common story is that the French folded easily when Germany invaded, but the truth is that nobody was ready for what Guderian was about to unleash. No country would have survived the Blitzkrieg then, not even the US. He created something revolutionary and nobody was ready for it.
This book also pointed out that Guderian was about to take the British Exp. at Dunkirk, but Hitler gave the order to halt, allowing the British to evacuate thousands of troops and saving a massive allied disaster. The book does start off a little slow as one reader below pointed out, but overall its an amazing book by a man who seems to overlooked in History for some reason. Any fan of WW2 history will love this book.
