Major General Orde Wingate, DSO and two bars, who had created and
personally led the Chindits (commandos, from the Burmese word for a
griffin) was killed in an air accident in March 1944, at the height
of the second Chindit campaign. He was highly praised, especially
by General Slim. But by 1956, Slim was dismissive of him in Defeat
into Victory, and the Official British History in 1961 was
viciously critical. What happened to change minds so completely?
David Rooney examines the life and achievement of a maverick
soldier who inspired loyalty and devotion in some, hostility in
others. He presents facts that thoughtful, diligent research has
uncovered, to leave a broader impression of Wingate's colourful
career. The result is an intriguing portrait of a military mind of
daring originality, deserving of a better judgement in military
history.
