内容説明・目次
内容説明
Lord Louis Mountbatten achieved great things both in war and peace as a military leader and public servant. The First World War and its aftermath shaped his early life, in mid-career he was a victorious commander in the Second World War, and when peace came he brought independence to India and Pakistan. Mountbatten remains a controversial figure, but when his faults are considered in the light of the world-shaking events in which he was involved, they are overwhelmingly outweighed by his achievements. His murder, and those of members of his family and a friend, on 27 August 1979 by the IRA shocked the world.
目次

Draws on many primary sources including Mountbatten's private papers. The author worked closely with Mountbatten in the Second World War. Published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Mountbatten's death (August 2009).
