Synopsis

The Second World War, unlike the First, fostered the projection of characters.

Thanks to the media, many of the Allied commanders became household names, known as much for their successes and defeats on the battlefield as for their personalities. This book provides a brief review of the careers of some of the most notable figures to achieve high command in the Allied forces, a list that includes General of the Army Omar Bradley, Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, General George Patton and General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower.

These characters are brought to life through numerous illustrations, including photographs and colour plates.
