Summary: Inside one of the best leaders
Comment: The enigma of famous and succesfull army leaders is not entirly unveiled in this book. But the combination of Horne, with his majestic, all-compassing style, and Montgommery jr., with his peronal experience, make this book a good try to probe into the man behind the myth. Giving both ample attention to the strategic and factual developments of Montgommery during his last campaign, it is a very readeble book, taking the reader en route with the Tactical HQ system Montgommery devised. It also tries to explain the behaviour of a man known to be both warm adn inspiring to his troops and aloof and arrogant to the rest of the world. A large part of the book deals with the role Montgommery played in Overlord. It is most interesting reading next to the biographies of other Overlord generals. It is certainly not an all out praise to the lonely leader, critical and objective as it is. It gives insight in leadership as it should, and should not be effected.As history seldom can be objective it is a good try.
