Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. General Sir Alan Cunningham was one of the most celebrated British generals in 1941, but virtually unknown by the end of the Second World War. His fame came from his dynamic leadership of the small East African Army that defeated the Italians. His renown was such that he was selected to form and command the British Armys newest and most technically advanced formation, the 8th Army, the only British army fighting the Germans in 1941. He was given eight weeks to organise and train his new command. The ensuing battle started exceptionally well, but Cunningham found that he had lost the initiative and just nine days into the campaign he was removed from command by General Auchinleck. His removal was controversial both at the time and today, with an official narrative of mental breakdown; but the authors research proves this not to be the case.Churchill took against Cunningham and he spent nearly nine months unemployed before he was given a series of UK-based roles until the end of the War. As soon as Churchill lost power, Cunningham was offered the prestigious and incredibly challenging job of High Commissioner in Palestine and for the next three years successfully managed the British withdrawal. This is a fascinating story of military success and political jealousy; perhaps unsurprisingly, the great Alan Brooke and astute Field Marshal Smuts were supporters; Monty was not.The foreword has kindly been provided by Professor Sir John Cunningham, Dr Jane Cunningham and Admiral Sir Jock Slater. How did the man who developed a limited border offensive into a full scale campaign and advanced over 2,000 miles to defeat the Italian Army and liberate Addis Ababa, who formed and commanded the Eighth Army, end up at Camberley and then Northern Ireland?

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - General Sir Alan Cunningham was one of the most well known British generals in 1941, but virtually unknown by the end of the Second World War.
