John Keegan has assembled a cast of seventeen generals whose
reputations were made (and some of them broken) by Churchill and
the Second World War. Churchill's reputation as prime minister
during the Second World War fluctuated according to the successes
and failures of his generals. Most of them were household names,
and often heroes, during the war years. All of them were prey to
the intolerance, interference, irascibility - and the inspiration -
of the man who wanted to be both the general in the field and the
presiding strategic genius. He sacked his warlords ruthlessly, yet
in the end he came to be served by perhaps the greatest generals
this country has ever produced. Includes chapters on Wavell,
Ironside, Ritchie, Auchinleck, Montgomery, Alexander, Percival,
Wingate, Slim and Carton de Wiart. Note: The Publisher regrets that
the biographical note for Gary Sheffield is incorrect in the book.
Please refer to the Orion website (www.orionbooks.co.uk) for the
correct version.
