War at the Top by James Leasor and General Sir Leslie Hollis

War at the Top is not simply the memoirs of yet another General, nor is it just another book about World War II. It is about the people who made the decisions on which victory rested; what happened behind the scenes at the great international conferences and the daily top-level meetings in the strange, armoured headquarters carved out of the cellars underneath Whitehall.

This is a frank and fascinating story of soldiers, statesmen, and world leaders seen by one privileged to sit in on most of the significant policy discussions of the war: General Sir Leslie Hollis, KCB, KBE
