Alanbrooke'S Mask Of Command Was Legendary But These Diaries Tell Us What He Really Saw And Felt: Moments Of Triumph And Exhilaration, But Also Frustration, Depression, Betrayal, And Doubt. They Expose The Gulf Between The Military And The Politicians Of The War Cabinet, And How Often Military Strategy Was Misguided And Nearly Derailed By Political Prejudices.
