The Memoirs of Field Marshall Montgomery 1958 WW1 and WW2

Fantastic hardback “the Memoirs of Field Marshal Montgomery” with dust cover, 1958. WW1 and WW2 The black trim on the plastic cover is starting to separate a bit. The corner of the authors photo is creased-see photo. The front cover is signed by the previous owner and about 5 pages have underlines. Otherwise in great condition. Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein,(1887 - 1976), was a senior British Army officer who served in both the First World War and the Second World War. Nicknamed “Monty”, he dealt Germany one of their first major defeats, against Rommel in the North African campaign. Leadership command positions in Italy, Normandy and through the end of WWII, Montgomery was broadly admired by British troops and disdained for his arrogance by the allies. He continued to serve in Europe, culminating as Deputy Commander of NATO, retiring in the year of this publication. “I first saw the American soldier in battle in Sicily, and I formed then a very high opinion of him.I want to take this opportunity to pay a public tribute to him.”
