3470. Discovering the Rommel Murder: The Life and Death of the Desert Fox, by Charles F. Marshall (read Aug 9, 2001) On Aug 23, 1971, I read a bio of Rommel by Desmond Young, without too much appreciation. The book I have now read was written by a U.S. Army officer, shortly after WW II, incited by his contacts with Rommel's widow in the waning days of the war, but not published till 1994. It tells of Rommel's life, but can scarcely be called a biography. I found it poorly written and poorly edited, with no footnotes and no bibliography. The author admires Rommel, and Rommel does have good things to be said for him, but since he fought for evil incarnate, he certainly cannot be admired unreservedly. This book was not worth reading.
