He was a competent soldier, and history has left us with many tantalising "What Ifs?", as regards as to possible alternative men to have headed the Commonwealth forces in the European Theatre in WWII. That said, this is the definitive account of his life, Volume III. It covers the glory years. ( ) sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

"Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, PC (pron.: /mntmr v ælmen/; 17 November 1887 24 March 1976), nicknamed "Monty" and the "Spartan General",[9] was a British Army officer. He saw action in the First World War, where he was seriously wounded, and during the Second World War he commanded the Eighth Army from August 1942 in the Western Desert until the final Allied victory in Tunisia. This command included the Battle of El Alamein, a turning point in the Western Desert Campaign. He subsequently commanded the Eighth Army in Sicily and Italy before being given responsibility for planning the D-Day invasion in Normandy. He was in command of all Allied ground forces during Operation Overlord from the initial landings until after the Battle of Normandy. He then continued in command of the 21st Army Group for the rest of the campaign in North West Europe. As such he was the principal field commander for the failed airborne attempt to bridge the Rhine at Arnhem and the Allied Rhine crossing. On 4 May 1945 he took the German surrender at Luneburg Heath in northern Germany. After the war he became Commander-in-Chief of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in Germany and then Chief of the Imperial General Staff."--Wikipedia.
