注解 Includes index. Also published by : London : Phoenix Press, 2002. Facsimile on inside covers. 摘要 "For most of the Second World War General Sir Alan Brooke, later Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, was Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS) - Britain's top soldier - and Churchill's principal military advisor, and antagonist, in the inner councils of war. He also led the British military in the bargaining and brokering of the Grand Alliance with Roosevelt and Stalin, in the great conferences at Casablanca, Tehran, Washington and Yalta. By common consent, he was the greatest CIGS in the history of the British Army." "These diaries have never been published, complete, before. In the 1950s Alanbrooke collaborated with the historian Sir Arthur Bryant on The Turn of the Tide and Triumph in the West, which used only a heavily censored selection. Full publication of the diaries was then considered inadvisable, perhaps impossible, not least for fear of libel. Here they are, at last, complete and unexpurgated, offering an unrivalled account from the epicentre of this gargantuan conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
