Mountbatten: The Official Biography
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Few lives were as charmed as that of Lord Mountbatten. Queen Victoria attended his christening. The future Edward VIII was best man in his wedding to one of the greatest heiresses of Europe, one of the most attractive and spirited women of the new generation. Philip Ziegler has achieved a masterpiece. The riches of the Mountbatten archive at Broadlands, to which he is the first biographer to have had full access, have not deflected him from investigating with thorough scholarship all the other sources for his subject's life. Kindly, understanding, admiring yet undeceived, he shows with perfect politeness that the version of history that Mountbatten would have had us believe is not always supported by evidence. He also reveals, through direct quotations of letters and other documents, what an affectionate, kind-hearted and often vulnerable man was hidden beneath that carapace of medals, protocol and childlike egocentricity.
