By common consent the greatest CIGS in the history of the British Army, Alanbrooke occupied a unique position at the heart of Britain's efforts in WWII. Scarcely a man to pull punches, he provides a blow-by-blow account of how the war was waged and won, sparing no-one from politicians to generals of virtually every Allied nation. This is the first publication of the diaries in unabridged form, complementing rather than superseding the famous and long-standing two-volume abridgement by Bryant.

Edited by Alex Danchev and Daniel Todman. [2001]. By common consent the greatest CIGS in the history of the British Army, Alanbrooke occupied a unique position at the heart of Britain's efforts in WWII. Scarcely a man to pull punches, he provides a blow-by-blow account of how the war was waged and won, sparing no-one from politicians to generals of virtually every Allied nation. For over two generations, historians and scholars have known the Alanbrooke war diaries only through Bryant's classic two-volume edition. Quite apart from the inevitable selectiveness (and much of that rigorously censored), we have several times heard the comment 'too much Bryant and not enough Alanbrooke'. Now, almost sixty years on, we have a complete rendering (from the British perspective) of the most important private military account of the Second World War. Here is the opportunity to compare the old and the new; it is a fascinating task, revealing (first) why so much could not be published at the time and (secondly) the scale of the strains, frustrations and emotions borne by Britain's leading soldier of WWII. Enser, pp.199, 474 (first two volumes respectively).

197512 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispieces, the first three volumes with pictorial endpapers, a few tops lightly spotted; cloth, gilt backs, a near fine set in dustwrapper. With their titles borrowed cheekily from Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan', Lees-Milne's diaries are widely recognised as one of the foremost continuous chronicles of England in the twentieth century. The twelve volumes cover the years 1942 to 1997, terminating only shortly before his death. The series as a whole passed through three publishers, the first three volumes by Chatto & Windus, the fourth by Faber (with characteristically non-uniform dustwrapper) and subsequent volumes (unsurprisingly) by John Murray. From 2001 onwards the diaries are edited by Michael Bloch. The series comprises 'Ancestral Voices. [Diaries 1942-1943]' (1975); 'Prophesying Peace: [Diaries 1944-1945]' (1977); 'Caves of Ice. [Diaries 1946-1947]' (1983); 'Midway on the Waves. [Diaries 1948-49]' (1985); 'A Mingled Measure. Diaries 1953-1972' (1994); 'Ancient as the Hills. Diaries 1973-1974' (1997); 'Through Wood and Dale. Diaries 1975-1978' (1998); 'Deep Romantic Chasm. Dairies 1979-1981' (2000); 'Holy Dread. Diaries 1982-1984' (2001); 'Beneath a Waning Moon. Diaries 1985-1987' (2003); 'Ceaseless Turnoil. Diaries 1988-1992 (2004); 'The Milk of Paradise. Diaries 1993-1997' (2005). A SPLENDID SET, RARE IN THIS CONDITION. The earlier volumes are very scarce and all are becoming difficult. It will be hard to rebuild a similar set at this price level.
