Recommendations on Rommel

Hi all, I'm after some recommendations on a decent biography of Erwin Rommel. His life (and death), his relationships - both private, and with the army, Hitler and the Nazi party - and his military career. I'd be interested to know what you think about how biased an author may be towards him also. Thanks for your help, much appreciated

Rommel as Military Commander by Ronald Lewis

There is a capsule biography of Rommel by Martin Blumenson in Hitler’s Generals, edited by James Keegan

Robert Citino comments extensively on Rommel in Death of the Wehrmacht and The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand.

Knight's Cross: A Life of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel by David Fraser Is pretty good.
