Mountbatten: The Official Biography

A comprehensive and authoritative biography of Lord Louis Mountbatten, written by official biographer Philip Ziegler. This rounded, sympathetic, and yet wholly undeceived portrait captures the many facets of Mountbatten's character, from his christening (attended by Queen Victoria) to his pivotal roles as Supreme Commander in South-East Asia during World War II and Viceroy of India, overseeing the move to independence. The narrative also delves into his involvement in events like the Suez crisis, revealing a man who, for all his glitter and gold, remained profoundly human. Illustrated with numerous black and white photographic plates. Bound in sturdy hardcover, this copy is in Good condition. Please note, this edition does not come with a dust jacket.
