Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the Burma campaign of
1942-45 will have heard not only of General Orde Wingate and the
Chindits, but also of Mad Mike Calvert, Wingates most intrepid
column commander. His success in Burma, followed by his time with
the SAS in Europe, had made Calvert one of the best known soldiers
in the army. However, Calverts life was to fall apart when he was
convicted of gross indecency and dismissed the service. To the end
of his days he maintained that the whole thing was a setup and it
is vastly to the credit of the industrious David Rooney that he was
proved, as far as it is possible after such a great passage of
time, that this was indeed the case. Nothing could ever remove the
suffering unjustly inflicted on this very gallant soldier, however
this book goes along way to clear his name, if not officially, at
least in the public mind.
