The author is Field-Marshal Montgomery's brother - younger by 17 years.  He gives a fascinating and first hand account of the influences that made his brother what he was, together with much  unknown detail about Montgomery's career.

Aspects of the Field-Marshal's character analysed by the author include his regular oppostion to authority and his many decisions to ignore rules and regulations.  He was determined on self publicity and, after being wounded severely in the 1914 war, became intent on battle training, manifesting a somewhat contemptuous attitude to parade ground drill.
