Book Descriptions:

Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery became a national hero overnight with his victory at El Alamein, but his triumphal final battle culminating in the surrender of all German forces in May 1945 made him a world figure. This fast moving book delves into the secrets of Monty's last and greatest campaign. Conscious of both his own prestige and that of his country, he turned his Army's intended 'flanking' role into a race against the Russians for the key ports of Hamburg and Bremen and domination of the Baltic. As we all know, it was a race he won with untold consequences for the shape of Europe in the post-war years. Selling Points * A fascinating study of a key period of the Second World War. * Penetrating analysis of the complex character of Montgomery, who remains a hugely controversial figure. * Highly readable and entertaining in true Charles Whiting style. The Author Charles Whiting is arguable the most prolific author on the Second World War. He has also written under the pseudonym Leo Kessler. Recently widowed, he lives in York.
