Triumph In The West 1943-1946

The Triumph In The West 1943-1946

By Arthur Bryant

Based on the Diaries and Autobiographical Notes of Field Marshal The Viscount Alanbrooke KG., O.M.

“This book may well be judged by future historians the most valuable of all relating to the latter stages of World War ll. Both as participant and recorder, Alanbrooke stood in a unique position. As chairman of the Chiefs of Staff for the last three and a half years of the war he was not only responsible for advising the cabinet on military strategy and for all the major decisions involved, but night after night, no matter what the hour, he recorded in his secret diary the circumstances in which those decisions were made and the argument, often heated, sometimes passionately angry, by which they were reached.”
