Fascinating book with enough "oomph" to make me want to check out more books on the subject. The author comes across as brilliant, but scatter-brained and after a while, some of the tangents he goes off on become tedious and confusing, causing a re-read of what the original subject was for clarity.

 One has to remember that this book was published in England in 1973, so the language is rather archaic and the memory of WWII is still rather fresh on the author's mind, leading to some unfortunate comments about Germans as a race...
