520    After his first meeting with General Alexander in August 
       1942, Lieutenant General Sir Brian Horrocks wrote that, &
       lsquo;by repute he was Winston Churchill’s fire 
       brigade chief par excellence – the man who was 
       always dispatched to retrieve the most desperate 
       situations’.Churchill was indeed in need of a fire 
       brigade chief. Allied forces had been chased back across 
       the desert by Rommel. Alexander bought a new hope to the 
       famed Desert Rats: he instilled them with his own 
       confidence and thought of victory. Under his command, 
       Montgomery was ready to fight and win the battle of El 
       Alamein. Even as his generals drove the enemy from North 
       Africa, Alexander was planning far ahead for Sicily and 
       Operation Husky, the first major seaborne invasion by 
       either side during the war.It was said that before El 
       Alamein the Allies never knew victory, and after El 
       Alamein they never knew defeat. Much of the credit for 
       that belongs to Alexander. For decades his contribution to
       the British efforts in both wars has been overlooked. Here,
       however, is a comprehensive edition of his personal and 
       candid memoirs, which includes judgments on such men as 
       Montgomery, Patton and Churchill. He also details his role
       in leading the withdrawal of the 1st Infantry Division at 
       Dunkirk, his dealings with Stilwell in Burma and the 
       bombing of the abbey at Monte Cassino. [Elib]
