Allied Master Strategists: The Combined Chiefs of Staff in World War II

From Baird Maritime

A remarkable collaboration of nine military geniuses or near geniuses, equally representing Britain and the United States, who planned and supervised the Allied operations that achieved victory over the Axis powers.

While in reality the Axis nations were under-resourced and, largely, led by madmen, they made up for that, in the early stages of the war at least, by their aggressive and boldness.

This carefully researched and very well-written book describes the nine men who comprised the Combined Chief of Staff and explains how they worked so effectively together. It clearly describes their personalities, egos, qualifications, experience and attributes.

All these factors combined with an incredible spirit of co-operation that focused brilliantly on one prime objective.

An amazing achievement very well described.
