<P>This book, first published in 1967, examines the foundations and the substance of the Montgomery Legend. His appearance upon the scene in the Western Desert coincided with a change in warfare as ¿ironmongery replaced generalship¿, as General Fuller observed, and with Montgomery¿s victories came a British need for a Champion for all to see. The public needed a Hero as Britain¿s time on the ropes ended, and it was also politically necessary, lest Britain be swamped by the power of its allies.</P>
