I've just received it. Hasn't read it yet.

Has anyone read it? Is it good? What do you think of it?

Another valuable book - Liddell Hart was allowed to interrogate, or more likely, converse with, the captured German senior officers whilst they were in captivity immediately after the war.

I have a copy here - it was called 'The Other Side Of The Hill' in the UK. I think Liddell Hart has been criticized for doing a little editing to suit his own ideas, but is fascinating to read. One of the best interviews is that with Manteuffel about the Ardennes; he is very clear and concise.

Thanks for the comment, Martin! I had indeed heard about Lidell Heart's "The other side of the hill", but I didn't know it was the same book.

Excellent reading! I have read it myself few months ago and was deeply impressed. Most fascinating is the way Liddel Hart made conversations with generals, sometimes I had an impression he is a journalist making an interview for some magazine [img]smile.gif[/img]

I read this book earlier this year too. I thought it was easy to read and gave me an insight into hitler and his relationships with some of his generals that I had not known before. Indeed another picture emerged than I had read before. For example Hitler's disinterest in conquering England, and that some generals didn't think some of hitler's tactical decisions weren't that crazy anyway.

A very interesting book, Fried!
