"This is th first full-length biography of Lord Mountbatten by an author who traveled with him far and wide, from his birthplace to Buckingham Palace, from Broadlands to the castles in Germany where he had lived as a boy. The last godson of Queen Victoria, Lord Mountbatten was a relative and intimate of Europe's Kings and Queens, and the beloved 'Uncle Dickie' of the British Royal Family. He was a sailor, commander of armies, diplomat extraordinary, humanitarian, inventor, and above all a leader and inspirer of his fellow men. He lost his title at seventeen, and gained a fascinating millionairess wife, Edwina Ashley, five years later. Together, they became the recognized leaders of the restless, extravagant jazz age; just as they later reflected the last giltter of the British Empire's 'brightest jewel' as Viceroy and Vicereine of India. No life can have been filled more richly, more controversially, through an era of war, revolution and dramatic socio-political change. Richard Hough knew him well, was commissioned to write the official family history and biography of his parents, and has talked at length with members of the Royal Family, with Prime Ministers under whom Lord Mountbatten served, with the women he admired and who inspired him, with Admirals and ratings, and private soldiers to whom he offered new spirit in the jungles of Burma. The author is not blind to a great man's weaknesses and insecurity, leaves out nothing, but recognizes his greatness. Here is a fitting tribute to the last 'hero of our time'. - from the inner front jacket flap.
