Review
“"A useful basic bibliography for any level."”–
“This superb bibliography study places British Field Marshal Montgomery's accomplishments and reputation within their proper historical and historiographical context, and provides insight on not only controversial issues of his career, but occasionally on more obscure ones as well....this volume is an informative and worthwhile reference and research guide for students and scholars interested in Montgomery and his leadership, generalship, and the higher direction of the Second World War.”–
“...an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to understand [Montgomery]...the book might also be read for enlightenment by anyone who is broadly familiar with Montgomery's life or campaigns.”–
Book Description
In the desperate summer of 1942, Hitler seemed to be on the verge of victory in Russia and the Middle East. With Rommel nearing Cairo, a little known lieutenant-general, Bernard Montgomery, took charge of what Churchill called a "baffled and bewildered" British 8th Army. Assuming command, Montgomery led the Army to one of the Allies' greatest victories--El Alamein. "Monty" became an instantly recognizable Allied leader, but as a man with strong views, unbending principles, and outspoken frankness, he was both loved and disliked, praised and criticized. This bibliography presents and evaluates the extensive body of literature that has grown up around the controversial Field Marshal.
