A Selected Bibliography
Hardback
Publication Date: 30/10/1999
In the desperate summer of 1942, Hitler seemed to be on the verge of victory in Russia and the Middle East. With Rommel nearing Cairo, a little known lieutenant-general, Bernard Montgomery, took charge of what Churchill called a "baffled and bewildered" British 8th Army. Assuming command, Montgomery issued his famous order, "Here we will stand and fight...If we can't stay here alive, then let us stay here dead," and led the Army to one of the Allies' greatest victories - El Alamein. "Monty" became an instantly recognizable Allied leader, but as a man with strong views, unbending principles, and outspoken frankness, he was both loved and disliked, praised and criticized. This bibliography presents and evaluates the extensive body of literature that has grown up around the controversial Field Marshal. Any serious study of World War II military campaigns must confront Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, an individualist with both admirers and detractors. This reference tool provides an historiographical overview of the literature and a bibliography of significant works. It is a basic reference and research guide for the student, scholar, and general reader.
