Montgomery Legend

<p>This book first published in 1967 examines the foundations and the substance of the Montgomery Legend. His appearance upon the scene in the Western Desert coincided with a change in warfare as ‘ironmongery replaced generalship’ as General Fuller observed and with Montgomery’s victories came a British need for a Champion for all to see. The public needed a Hero as Britain’s time on the ropes ended and it was also politically necessary lest Britain be swamped by the power of its allies.</p>
