Procure Killing Rommel Authored By Steven Pressfield Distributed As Publication

razliku od sjajnih Ognjenih kapija, jedne od najboljih knjiga o ratu koje sam čitao, Pressfield ovde ne uspeva da zadrži pažnju na jednak način.


Obožavam i istorijsku fikciju, kao i knjige o istoriji, Ove prve treba da temelje na istinitim događajima i licima, ali da a pričaju sjajnu priču ili b budu vrhunac literature, Pressfieldove Ognjene kapije ili Harrisova trilogija o Ciceru su odličan primer vrhunske istorijske fikcije,

Istorijske knjige treba naravno da imaju činjenice na mestu, ali da znaju da ih međusobno povežu, i da ih prenesu na interesantan način.
Anthony Beevor je, na primer, neko ko zna da prenosi istoriju onako kako je volim i čije knjige gutam,

Lov na Romela nije ništa od ovoga, Ispričan je faktografski, poput prosečne istorijske knjige, ali sa izmišljenim glavnim likovima i bez ikakve literarne vrednosti otprilike na nivou fraze "zaprepašćenje je isisalo sav vazduh iz sobe".
Ne samo to, već je i priča o neuspeloj misiji lova na Pustinjsku lisicu

neinteresantna,

Preskočiti i umesto toga još jednom pročitati Kapije, . . Loved it! A ripping yarn indeed! Read this book in, and its a standalone book about WWII in North Africa and a decisive battle,

This tale is set in the years AD, in North Africa with Field Marshall Rommel and his Afrika Corps,

Against Rommel the British are finding it hard to stop these Germans, theirth already routed, and now in a desperate attempt they will try a new tactic.


With the war in the balance, the British will develop a plan to create a small force behind enemy lines, and that force will create a blow in Rommel's attack.


This force called the Long Range Desert Group will succeed in their endeavour to strike successful blows to Rommel's army, and their exploits will become known as stuff of legend.


This story is based on real events, and it is brought to us in a lifelike and warlike manner by the author, and where individuals and armies in this war of life and death are superbly pictured in their struggles and actions, and that all for the sake of freedom.


Highly recommended, for this is a fantastic book about the decisive setback of Rommel in North Africa, and that's why I like to call this masterpiece: "A Fabulous Killing Rommel"!/

Tres estrellas peladas.


Había un leído un par de cosas de Pressfield que me habían gustado, así que cuando vi está novela supuse que me encantaría.
Autor consagrado y especializado en temas bélicos, un personaje histórico muy interesante y un escenario que daba mucho juego, pero lo cierto es que me costó muchísimo entrar en la historia.


Todo el tema de las patrullas por aquí, patrullas por allá, se me hizo muy largo, de hecho dejé la lectura en stand by y me puse con otra, lo que me sirvió para despejarme y disfrutar la segunda parte de la historia, sino se hubiera quedado en abandonado oestrellas como mucho.


Con respecto a la historia, resumiré, en que nos cuenta la historia de un grupo especializado del ejercito cuya misión es intentar acabar con la vida de Rommel y así cortar la cabeza pensante del ejercito alemán.
Este grupo pasa por multitud de peripecias y desventuras para intentar conseguir su objetivo, La historia está narrada en primera persona por un joven teniente de blindados, que acude como apoyo a la misión, Todo lo relacionado con la temática militar está a la altura de lo que esperaba, pero la narración no es fluida y la trama se vuelve repetitiva.


Recomendable Bueno, si te gusta la temática de la segunda guerra mundial y la guerra de África, creo que el libro te puede entretener hasta cierto punto, siempre y cuando te amoldes al estilo narrativo.
Excellent

The book made the fighting in the desert in WWII realistic and on a small scale, As you read you can feel the power of the desert and the difficulty of not just surviving but of fighting there, But best of all is how human the soldiers are fighting each other, A fine and meaningful book, If you know your history, then you are aware that despite the title they don't actually kill Rommel during the North Africa campaign, unless Pressfield opts for a Tarantino revision of the history.
Fortunately, he stays true to historical events, introducing a fictional element within the very real British Long Range Desert Group or LRDG, For Gates of Fire fans, if you are looking for an epic climax similar to what you find in his story of the, you may be disappointed.
But if you would like a new insight into the North African campaign, one from the perspective of the men out front bearing the brunt of the risk and what the desert climate throws at them, and a story that meditates on the respect and love for one's fellow soldiers even for a skilled enemy, then you will find much to appreciate.
I also like that the book eschews the leading personalities of the war, following the men out on the front lines instead of dwelling in the camps of generals.
I agree that the book begins slowly as it establishes the character of Chapman, from whose point of view the story is told, I found the conclusion satisfying as well, which produced the fifth star in my review, Το δεύτερο μέρος γίνεται πιο ενδιαφέρον από το πρώτο το οποίο έχει πολλές λεπτομέρειες και πληροφορίες για τα όπλα τα άρματα κλπ καθότι περιγράφονται οι κακουχίες της ερήμου ,υπάρχουν έντονες σκηνές δράσης και η περιπέτεια επικεντρώνεται σε λίγα άτομα. Όμως αυτά δεν αρκούν για να ξεπεραστεί η απλοϊκή ρεαλιστικη γραφή με απότομες και σύντομες προτάσεις προφανώς για να δημιουργήσει μια λαχανιασμενη ατμόσφαιρα. Δεν τα καταφέρνει όμως. Το ψυχογράφημα ειναι επιφανειακο,υπαρχει μια αγιοποιηση και τυφλός θαυμασμός προς τους κομάντος,προπαγάνδα υπέρ των Συμαχωνν και μεγαλοποιηση των γεγονωτων ,απο την στιγμη που ολοι ξερουμε οτι οι κυριες μαχες εγιναν στο ανατωλικο μετωπο και στην βορεια Αφρικη καποιες αψιμαχιες. Μπροστα δηλαδη σε Κουρσκ,Λενιγκραντ,Σταλιγκραντ η μαχη της Αγγλιας και του Ελ λαλαμειν γταν παιχνιδακι. Οσο απο φιλοσοφικη σκεψηΤΊΠΟΤΑ! Μετά τις πύλες της φωτιάς ο Πρεσφιλντ δεν έχει κάνει κάτι ισάξιο η να πλησιάζει κάπως. Ίσως τελικά είναι συγγραφέας ενός βιβλιου. Τώρα πραγματικά θέλω να διαβάσω κάτι πολύ σπουδαίο για να αποζημιωθω.
