Mountbatten by Philip Ziegler
Ziegler presents a rounded, sympathetic and yet wholly undeceived portrait of the man and the many facets of his character. From his christening - which Queen Victoria attended - to his days as Supreme Commander in South-East Asia during World War II, to India where he oversaw the move to independence, to the Suez crisis, we discover a man who, for all the glitter and the gold, was nothing if not human.
Philip Ziegler was born in 1929 and educated at Eton and New College, Oxford. He was a diplomat and publisher before becoming a full-time writer. He lives in London
