Monty The Man Behind the Legend

Monty The Man Behind the Legend by Nigel Hamilton

Published by Sphere Books Limited, London 1988, ISBN#: 0747402663, Soft bound, Excellent+ condition (light cover wear with very small tear at base of spine, light spine crease, light crease on back cover). This book paints a comprehensive picture of Monty as soldier, diplomat, family-man and friend. Monty went into battle in World War I armed with a sword: he emerged from World War II as �the first soldier of Europe� and the greatest British general since Nelson. He had a reputation for being vain, cantankerous, and more than a little strange. A matchless tactician, Bernard Law Montgomery � later Viscount Montgomery of Alamein � defeated Rommel in the dessert, masterminded the D-Day landings, and triumphed at the Battle of Normandy � the greatest Allied victory of the war. Yet what was he like? Was he, as Churchill called him, �a little man on the make�, or was he the brilliant, difficult, yet considerate and extremely lonely man held dear to friends and fellow-soldiers alike? The book is approximately 5 X 7 3/4 inches in size and contains 125 pages plus 8 pages of photographs. The cover price is 3.99 British pounds.
