Probably my favorite first-person account by a commander so far. Overall he comes across (IMO) as an extremely thoughtful human being.
It was especially poignant because in the book you find out that while his father was German, his mother was French and one of his grandparents was English. I can only imagine what it must have been like to be a young officer and one day wake up to find that your country is at war with two other nations with which you are so intimately connected.
