Sobre IBD

He was the enemy the Allies couldn’t help but admire, and the propaganda machine that made him famous almost destroyed him.Erwin Rommel died in October 1944 a disgraced political liability, dismissed by Allied newspapers as just another Nazi thug. Six years later, Hollywood turned him into a celluloid hero, and his legend as history’s last honorable warrior has never really faded since.Rommel’s Ghost tears open that transformation, tracking, headline by headline, how the Allied press built the 'Desert Fox' into a myth, tried to tear him back down, and then, almost against their own will, let him rise again. Drawing on wartime letters, censored press archives, and the private diaries of the men who built and unbuilt his legend Rommel himself, Goebbels, Churchill, Eisenhower this is a gripping investigation into how nations decide who their enemies were, and why some ghosts refuse to stay buried.A vivid, myth-busting account of propaganda, memory, and the making of a legend, for anyone who has ever wondered how history decides who the 'good' villains are.
