    Good Montgomery biography?

    What is the best bio on Monty? Preferably one that would also analyze his generalship and character, not just a straight chronology.

      It seems to be only about a short period. How about Nigel Hamilton's huge trilogy?

        Yes, I would suggest Hamilton's magmum opus. It's been a while since I finished it, but, while he was personally close to Montgomery, he did not shy away from criticism of the FM. Still, a generally quite favorable account of his life.
        I also read "Montgomery as Military Commander", by Brian Lewin some time ago, and thought it was well done.
        I would also suggest " The Desert Generals", by Corelli Barnett.
