by David Fraser (Author)
Alanbrooke fought with the artillery in World War I, conducted his corps in the retreat from Dunkirk with exemplary calm and courage, and longed to fight again. But the moment Churchill selected him as Chief of the Imperial General Staff in November 1941 he became indispensible in Whitehall, the one man who could never be spared for more spectacular undertakings. David Fraser recounts his life and career.
