London, England: Osprey, 1996. Reprint. Trade paperback. Very Good (name of previous owner written in ink inside front cover). 40 pages. Includes Introduction, The Commanders (Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander, later Earl Alexander of Tunis: 1891-1969; Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck: 1884-1981; General of the Army Omar N. Bradley: 1893-1981; Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham (later, Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope): 1883-1963; General Sir Miles Dempsey: 1896-1969; Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding (later, Baron Dowding of Bentley Priory): 1882-1970; General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower (later, 34th President of the United States): 1890-1969; General Courtney H. Hodges: 1887-1966; General of the Army Douglas MacArthur: 1880-1964; Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery (later, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein): 1887-1978; General George S. Patton: 1885-1945; Field Marshal Sir William Slim (later, Viscount Slim): 1891-1970; Field Marshal Viscount Wavell: 1883-1950; Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgi K. Zhukov: 1896-1974 All armies of the period had their incompetents, but most were weeded out early on. It is no coincidence that the brief campaign in France in 1940 brought to the fore men such as Alexander, Brook, and Montgomery. Some commanders failed, and suffered eclipse; some won great victories, and enjoyed lifelong prestige and rewards; some did their job competently and never attracted the attention they perhaps deserved; and still others, promoted beyond their competence, later served with distinction at a lower level of command--Gen. Ritchie failed in command of 8th Army, but had a fine record as a corps commander in NW Europe., Osprey, 1996, 3<
