Description: Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 574 pp, ills, plates, map. From the introduction: "This book does not owe its inception to any personal inclination to authorship, or to any wish to achieve further publicity. I write it because of many suggestions that such a book of memoirs is needed. I aim to give to future generations the impressions I have gained in a life that has been full of interest, and to define the principles under which I have considered it my duty to think and act. Throughout my life and conduct my criterion has been not the approval of others nor of the world; it has been my inward convictions, my duty and my conscience. I have never been afraid to say what I believed to be right and to stand firm in that belie£ This has often got me into trouble. I have not attempted to answer my critics but rather to tell the story of my long and enjoyable military life as I see it, and as simply as possible." An ex-library copy with a label on the front pastedown endpaper, stamp and marks on front free endpaper, stamp on rear free endpaper, docket on rear pastedown endpaper. Otherwise Good in dustwrapper.

Description: Shelf wear to edge of D/J. Fifty years ago Bernard Law Montgomery joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment as a subaltern, choosing that regiment mainly because of its attractive cap badge, and relatively inexpensive standard of living. He now retires as Field-Marshal after a continuous Army service unequalled in duration in modern times and unsurpassed in the grave perils of two world wars which have confronted the country he has served so faithfully. The book which Field-Marshal Montgomery has now written has certain salient features. It is first and foremost an autobiography, every word of which has been written by the author. (Incidentally, the original manuscript was written entirely in pencil) As an autobiography it is not be any means simply concerned with the conduct of World War II. It covers the boyhood and early years of the author and over a third of the book is concerned with the post-war period. One can foresee this book being read generations hence; by the youth of the nation for its simple faith as well as its inspiring patriotism, by soldiers for the lessons which it inculcates in the art of leadership, the basic principles of which can be applied equally well to civilian life, and by everyone who wishes to recall the tremendous impact of these historic years. Illustrated.
