I bought this book at a used book store after I accidently ran across it. I was right in the middle of binge watching The Crown, and I was very interested to learn more about Lord Mountbatten. Luckily, I spotted this book even though it did not have a dust jacket on it. I learned a lot about the life and career of Lord Mountbatten from this book, and I recommend it for anyone else who wants an in depth biography of him.
