Successful generals have all had the ability to establish a rapport with both their staffs and their men; all the great Allied commanders of World War II portrayed in this book had this ability to a greater or lesser extent.

Anthony Kemp does a first class job of examining the careers and personalities of the Allied Commanders who engineered the downfall of Hitler.
