"Panzer Leader belongs on the shelf of every serious student of
this violent twentieth century."--John S. D. Eisenhower
"Guderian's memoirs belong to the classics of military literature,
comparable to Grant's or Sherman's."--Newsweek
"His contempt for the Nazis is never far from the surface.... What
the general does not say about the great moral and human issues of
his era is as revealing as anything ever written about the
mentality of the German officer corps."--New Yorker
"There is no soberer and better story of how and why the Wehrmacht
failed in Russia.... The military detail is touched by sharp
descriptions of the fighting and vivid glimpses of the vague,
distorted, half-life of men at war."--New York Times Book
Review
"This brilliant memoir is a mesmerizing read.... A great book by a
great soldier."--Stephen E. Ambrose
