Alanbrooke was also recognized as a brilliant field commander, though he was never given any of the great overseas commands—including, to his great frustration, command over the Allied invasion of western Europe.
After the war, published extracts from Alanbrooke's diaries provoked controversy because of their criticism of General Dwight D. Eisenhower's ability as a military commander and of U.S. strategy in general.
For his military services, Alanbrooke was created Baron Alanbrooke of Brookeborough in 1945; in 1946 he became a viscount.

Field Marshal Alan Francis Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke, KG, GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO (July 23, 1883 - June 17, 1963) was a British Field Marshal during World War II.
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.
Alanbrooke remains one of Britain's greatest soldiers and military tacticians; sadly for someone who is such an important figure he remains relatively unknown amongst ordinary people.

Alanbrooke had called Churchill "a wonderful character, the most marvellous qualities and superhuman genius mixed with an astonishing lack of vision at times, and an impetuosity which, if not guided, must inevitably bring him into trouble again and again."
