description: World War II 1943-45.This remarkable study of Montgomery and his campaigns, from Sicily to the German surrender on Lüneburg Heath, provides the most authoritative verdict on a man whose position, character and actions were central to the final defeat of Nazi Germany, but which also brought a fair measure of disaster.As the author shows, the battles Montgomery fought were not only against the Germans. He struggled with inter-Service rows, political manoeuvring and, worst of all, his treatment of some of the American commanders, including Eisenhower, brought results that were to have a profound effect upon post-war Europe.Montgomery in Europe is an insightful exploration into Montgomery’s tactics in World War II.Praise for Montgomery in ‘Full of revealing and important information.’ - John Terraine, Daily Telegraph‘A notable contribution … judicious, detailed and scrupulously fair, as might be expected from one of Britain’s most respected military writers.’ - Drew Middleton, New York Times‘One can only recommend Mr Lamb’s more succinct, equally informative account as by far the best buy.’ - Michael Howard, Sunday Times‘Richard Lamb has enriched the history of the Allied campaign against Hitler by exciting new research.’ - Frankfurter Allgemeine‘This objective study is of the greatest interest to historians and performs a valuable service … This is an important book.’ - British Army ReviewA journalist, broadcaster and writer, Richard Lamb served with the Eighth Army during the Second World War.
