Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 7th Impression. Hardcover. War Diaies. 1939-1945. The most important and most controversial history diaries of the modern era. These diaries provide a blow-by-blow account of how the Second World War was waged and eventually won, from the man at Churchill's elbow (and sometimes his throat). They open a unique windo onto the inner workins of the Grand Alliance. Alanbrooke's implacable arguments spared no one - politicians, Americans, Russians, Chinese, even his own generals: Wavell, Auchinleck, Montgomery, Slim, Alexander. At home he had to contend with Churchill and minister to Montgomery; abroad, he had to accomodate the Americans and satisfy the Soviets. Roosevelt, Beaverbrook and Eden, all pass in review before him. His diaries tell us what he saw and felt - moments of triumph and exilaration, but also darker things: frustration, depression, betrayal, doubt. This, the last major account of the direction of the Second World War, is as unsparing as its author. Illustrated. 763 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
