23) El Alamein to the River Sangro: Normandy to the Baltic by Bernard Montgomery like many military memoirs, this is rather self serving which given his exploits is not surprising. This was interesting to read, but a little stiff in terms of presentation
24) Patton: A Genius for War by Carlo D’Este this is a brilliant biography of one of WWII’s most controversial and divisive figures whose exploits on the battlefield is perhaps only overshadowed by his many faux pas’ and of course his untimely death after a car accident in a post war Germany. Informative and insightful this further emphasises that Patton was a brilliant commander of troops, but thoroughly not suited to peacetime operations.
