Scope and content
Confirms to Crook that the book is now on sale at the National army Museum in Chelsea. Refers to an essay on Mountbatten in 'Eminent Churchillians' by Andrew Roberts. Close suggests the time is ripe for claiming that when Attlee replaced Wavell with Mountbatten it was a tragic blunder.
