"This biography by a leading military historian and former general Sir David Fraser firmly establishes Alanbrooke in Britain's pantheon of great warriors. Alanbrooke was a master strategist, and his partnership with Churchill was of central importance to the Allies' victory in WWII. Under his chairmanship the Chiefs of Staff became the most efficient machine for the conduct of war which this country - perhaps even the world - had ever seen. The Americans were suspicious of him but recognized his powers; his influence in the shaping of global strategy was immeasurable. The author, himself a soldier of distinction, had exclusive access to the Alanbrooke archives and used his sources wisely and well."
