- I had the great honor of meeting this fine man once, and he gave me a copy of his book with a very kind inscription.
He will be missed. If you can please buy this book.

It's WWII but I got this book several years ago. It's "The German Generals Talk".
It's pretty cool to hear what these guys were thinking of Hitler and some of the crazy #### he was doing. I thought most of them ended up sounded pretty weasely - as they were still trying to talk their way out of responsibility.
An Amazon Review:
Excellent perspective is provided by these interviews with many of Germany's top Army commanders. While not a comprehensive chronological review of perspectives, the interviews offer insight into what the German military leadership felt it was facing in trying to carry out Hitler's plans. As Lenin said, "If you want the Germans to attack a railway station you have to buy them all a ticket." This cultural observation seems to apply to the senior commanders as far as dealing with Hitler and his many self-defeating strategies and orders. It is also unnerving to realize that if the German Army had been allowed to fight its own campaign on the Eastern Front, rather than Hitler's, the outcome might have been quite different. There is also a relatively clear explanation of why the Brits and French were allowed to escape at Dunkirk. The German reflections provide first-hand insight into the quality of British and American soldiers, Russian forces, Russian tanks, and much, much, more. Highly succinct perspectives of the German attack on France, the Russian Campaigns, the North African War, the Normandy Invasion and the Advance to Germany,

British autobiographies well worth reading:
Goodbye To All That - Robert Graves
Testament of Youth - Vera Brittain
By all means, read Graves
