Table of ContentsReviews'Lord Louis Mountbatten is one of the most glittering yet mercurial figures of twentieth-century British history. Nobody was neutral about him. For some he was a far-sighted hero; for others he was an intellectual charlatan and a chancer. Adrian Smith gets us very close to the real Lord Louis, and the time is right for a reappraisal of his extraordinary trajectory across military, public and political life.' - Professor Peter Henessy, Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History, Queen Mary College, University of London Author InformationAdrian Smith is Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of Southampton, UK, and the author of Mountbatten, Cold War and End of Empire, 1945-79.
