An excellent continuation of his first volume,The Making of a Soldier, Master of the Battlefield documents quite extensively WW2 in Western Europe from the end in Africa, through Sicily, Italy and D Day until the Normandy breakout which finished the Germans in France. He aptly elucidates the Allied leadership dilemmas, decisions, disasters and triumphs while shedding appropriate and validated insights into this greatly flawed command hierarchy. And excellent parallel read would be Rick Atkinson's, hopefully soon to be completed trilogy Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheMonty (Volume 2)
Master of the Battlefield charts the biography of Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery from his decisive victory at El Alamein through the Battle of Normandy. It details the most complex, full years of Montgomery's career, following the time he became a household name after his North African campaign, and including his battles in Sicily and Italy, and the final Allied conquest in France in 1944. Based on Montgomery's secret diaries, letters and vast collections of private papers, which have remained confidential and inaccessible until now, this is the authorized biography of Montgomery in his most important years as commander. - Jacket flap.

For the historian, Montgomery poses one big over-hanging question. Did he train up and define the WWII British Army and use it to its fullest potential? Or, was he a great trainer, whose actual use of his instrument revealed an inability to release junior commanders to save time and lives by innovation? That's where the question will always lie. Sadly, Military art requires that someone die, and reruns are not really possible. ( )
