Mountbatten: Apprentice War Lord Smith Adrian
Was he a far-sighted war hero, or an ambitious networker promoted well above his natural talent? In this timely new biography, Adrian Smith offers a fresh and convincing perspective, depicting Mountbatten as a quintessentially modern, highly professional figure within the Royal Navy, and at Combined Operations and SE Asia Command, a hands-on officer who enthusiastically embraced new technology; someone who, although an aristocrat, was by instinct a progressive, innovative in his approach to man management. Admired as a modernising chief of staff, a timely decoloniser, and a genuine player on the world stage, Mountbatten nevertheless continues to attract fierce criticism.
Beneath the rich, vain, often ruthless, embodiment of power and privilege could be found a very human, even Smith brings Mountbatten to life, acknowledging the essential qualities as well as the obvious weaknesses.
