One of the three major Allied documents of World War II.
Memoirs of core strategic decision-makers of the Allies.
Looking at World War II from a top-level design perspective. British Field Marshal and Chief of the General Staff of the British Empire, Alan Brooke, led most of Britain's major war decisions during World War II. He attended a series of important international conferences held by the Allies during the war and made a significant contribution to winning the war. During World War II, with the exception of the Pacific battlefield that the United States was responsible for, most of the Allied strategic plans in Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic were directly participated in and formulated by Brooke, and sometimes he even insisted on it against everyone else's opinions.
Between September 1939 and August 1945, Alan Brooke recorded his daily combat and life experiences, as well as some important thoughts and comments, in the form of a diary, which is of extremely valuable historical value.
Because his diary contains many descriptions and evaluations of allied leaders and senior generals such as Churchill, de Gaulle, Marshall, and Eisenhower, it caused huge controversy after its publication.
