Masters and Commanders - How Roosevelt, Churchill, Marshall and Alanbrooke won the War in the West by Andrew Roberts |
It will come as no surprise to readers of Bryant's memorable Alanbrooke diaries that of the four titanic figures that shaped the progress of the Second World War, this unassuming Ulsterman should take the honours as the greatest strategist. Andrew Roberts' seminal work covers familiar territory and poignantly charts the waning of British influence as American might and manpower subsumes Churchill's almost mystical command of the transatlantic alliance.
