Brown cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. Maps as endpapers. 365 pp tall 8vo. Monty was known for his victories in WWII in the Western Desert of North Africa and his flamboyant eccentric personality. To some he was the outstanding battlefield general of the war but to others they considered him an overrated commander, over-cautious, and unimaginative. He never lost a battle, but his errors of judgment especially with the American military were disastrous. The author set out to discover how he rose to the top of a profession committed to many of the civilized virtues which Montgomery conspicuously lacked- tolerance, charm, good manners, and concern for the susceptibilities of others. A book full of his military command and philosophy and his deficiencies no longer relegated to the Officers' Mess. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.

Sobre Walnut Valley Books/Books by White
Walnut Valley Books is a small independent home-based business with the bulk of my holdings being of an American military nature covering everything from the Revolutionary War to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also have holdings of books on the Middle East, the southwestern United States (New Mexico especially, Kansas related titles, Oklahoma related titles, and other regionally specialized books. All of my holdings are hand-selected to be good quality books of interest to the reader, historian, or the collector. In addition to the above, you will also find a wide range of other topics such as Medical, US History, autobiographical, biographical, sports, women's studies, and many other eclectic topics.
