Description
Biography of Field Marshal Harold Rupert Leofric George Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis. Unruffled in defeat, modest in success, Alex was the image of a great commander. The last British soldier to leave Dunkirk, he was also Montgomery's C-in-C at Alamein. Twice in Tunisia and northern Italy, he forced the surrender of an entire German Army Group, and he captured Rome. Nicolson analyses Alexander's campaigns, describes his relations with Churchill and leading military commanders, and discusses many controversial topics of the day. Sportsman, athlete, painter and something of a dandy, Alexander's adventurous life took him from the front-line trenches of World War I to Ottawa as Governor-General of Canada from 1946-1952.
