	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Alan Brooke, 3rd Viscount Alanbrooke
		Captain Alan Victor Harold Brooke, 3rd Viscount Alanbrooke, RA (born 24 November 1932) succeeded to the viscountcy in 1972 on the death of his half-brother.
		The Brookes of Colebrooke, as with most of the Anglo-Irish gentry, made little contribution to the intellect and to the imagination of the province, though this is less true of collateral branches, notably the Brookes of Dromovana.
		Brooke was particularly well placed to comment upon these dramatic events, being second-in-command to Ross before the latter's death at Baltimore, and then succeeding him as commanding officer for the attack on that city.

		As CIGS, Brooke was the functional head of the Army, and as head of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, which he dominated by force of intellect and personality, he was responsible for the overall strategic direction of the war effort.
		Brooke was offered command of British forces in the Middle East, which he declined, believing that he ought to remain in Britain to prevent Churchill from leading the country into any foolhardy military adventures, a decision that was undoubtedly in the best interests of Britain and its Allies.
		Nevertheless, Brooke's masterful command of the priorities of strategic planning, and of the importance of co-operation among disparate allies, as well as his instinctive knowledge of the various field commanders under his control made him a pivotal figure at the highest levels of the Allied command.

		Alan Brooke was born and brought up at or near Pau in the south of France where his family owned a villa and periodically took a small house in the neighbouring hills in the heat of summer.
		Brooke's first four years of army life were spent in Ireland; then, from 1906, in India where he entered with enthusiasm into every aspect of his profession, caring for his men and his horses and his guns with a meticulous throughness and an eye for detail which were his abiding hallmark.
		Brooke, as chairman of the committee, was its spokesman on joint matters and it fell to him to enforce in stubborn argument the compulsion of strategic facts upon Churchill's restless genius without sacrifice of its astonishing impetus and fertility.

	Leading from the front
		Brooke's example shows this to be nonsense: leadership and management are entirely different things; leadership is no more a superior form of management than a potato is a superior form of cabbage.
		Brooke was a highly cerebral, flinty Ulsterman with prodigious energy, held in great awe and respect but - as far as the reader can tell - little widespread affection.
		Brooke, by contrast, delegated authority and then seldom meddled - but was ruthless in holding the recipient accountable for results.

		He played a major role in the Dunkirk evacuation, in which he was credited in providing the vital defenses that allowed the troops to be evacuated by naval vessels in the rear.
		Like Bernard Montgomery, Brooke was also a contender for the position of Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe, but that position was eventually given to Dwight Eisenhower based upon the percentage of men and materiel the United States had contributed to the alliance.
		"[Brooke] was highly intelligent and earnestly devoted to the single purpose of winning the war", said Eisenhower.

	Field Marshal Sir John Dill and Prime Minister Churchill - The Churchill Centre
		Personally he did not consider him a man "with whom it is agreeable to dine." It was announced that Dill was to be superseded by General Sir Alan Brooke, made Governor of Bombay, and promoted to Field Marshall as a consolation prize.
		But no sooner had Dill in practice ceased to be CIGS then the Americans entered the war and Churchill felt compelled to take Dill with him on his poste-haste embarkation to confer with Roosevelt.
		In this respect, Alan Brooke succeeded brilliantly but Dill refused to propitiate or pander to Churchill by indulging in what he considered futile and acrimonious verbal argument.

	If Churchill were alive today, he'd take on Saddam - theage.com.au
		Churchill's chief of staff, General Sir Alan Brooke, wrote that "Winston had 10 ideas every day, only one of which was good, and he did not know which it was".
		Militarily, he was a reckless romantic who had to be reined in, and Brooke was right to do so.
		Nevertheless, as Brooke, a military realist of the highest intelligence, himself conceded, without Churchill the war could not have been won.

		Brooke’s estimate of Eisenhower, whom he came to know quite intimately, is one of the bright spots of Bryant’s book.

	How Wrong Was Churchill? - The New York Review of Books
		Brooke was skeptical but he feared the casualties that the British army could ill afford.
		No one, neither Brooke nor Dill, could ever convince Churchill that his endless demands to the President that Overlord be canceled and that the Allies should attack from Italy over the Balkans exasperated Roosevelt.
		This struck at the root of the cardinal principle of the German general staff, which was to give assignments to junior commanders who were trained to use their own initiative to carry them out and exploit situations: not to lumber them with detailed orders.
