Monty: The Making of a General 1887-1942

Quick Overview
The definitive biography of Field Marshall Viscount Montgomery of El Alamein. Based on Montgomery's secret diaries, letters, and vast collection of private papers, which have remained confidential and inaccessible until now, this is the first volume of the authorized life of General Montgomery. Written by a historian who knew Montgomery intimately in his later years, Monty breaks entirely new ground. Nigel Hamilton presents the unknown Montgomery in behind-the-scenes accounts of him as soldier and leader, son, father, and husband. Aided by Montgomery's numerous letters, the author paints a vivid picture of world events as they shaped the destiny of one of the world's greatest field commanders. Illustrated with black-and-white photos. Pages yellowed.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
