The Full Monty: Montgomery of Alamein, 1887-1942 by Nigel Hamilton

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners. Pages are sunned.

Field Marshal Montgomery ranks as one of the legendary leaders of the 20th century.

This account is of a withdrawn, stubborn, difficult man who remained highly characteristic of Imperial Britain and utterly revolutionary in his criticism of that world.

Hamilton argues that it was Montgomery's homosexuality that was the key to understanding his genius. This genius was to contribute so much to the defeat of Hitler, and what was first shown to the world in the Battle of El Alamein.
