Reviews:
Like some other key world events.....I remember the day in 1979 when Lord Mountbatten was murdered by the IRA. It was horrific and a sad loss. I found this book when sorting out some books of my late mother-in-law and decided I needed to read this biography. I was not disappointed. I learned so much about his life from reading this and how he was such a great man and related to Queen Victoria and the last Russian Tzar before he too was murdered along with his family. He was greatly respected by the Queen and especially Prince Charles. I love history and loved reading this historic account of Lord Mountbatten......such a great man.

Reviews:
Good the author put a description of his death as a forward. Got that out of the way and taken with sadness. Well done portrait. Author had good access to info and his folksy writing style is very appealing to me. That the subject is closely related to Tsar Nicholas made the read even more interesting.
