Book cover for 'Allied Master Strategists' by David Rigby, featuring a black-and-white historical photo of military officers and soldiers on the cover.

Calling the Combined Chiefs of Staff the glue that held the British-American alliance together in World War II, David Rigby describes the vital contributions to Allied victory made by the organization, which drew its members from the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, the British Chiefs of Staff Committee, and the British Joint Staff Mission.

The book gives the Combined Chiefs what they have long deserved: a book not weighted towards the Americans or the British and not strictly naval, army, or air oriented, but combined in an international as well as an inter-service manner.
