The Full Monty by Nigel Hamilton
Field Marshal Montgomery ranks as one of the legendary leaders of the 20th century. This account is of a withdrawn, stubborn, difficult man who remained both highly characteristic of Imperial Britain and yet utterly revolutionary in his criticism of that world. Hamilton argues that it was Montgomery's homosexuality that is the key to understanding his genius - a genius that was to contribute so much to the defeat of Hitler and what was first shown to the world in the Battle of El Alamein.
Nigel Hamilton is the author of the three-volume official life of Monty (which won the Whitbread Prize and the Templer Medal) and the bestselling JFK: Reckless Youth. He is currently working on The Full Monty: The Impact of Fame 1942-1976 and a biography of Bill Clinton.
