General Sir Richard Dannatt's distinguished career in the army has
spanned thirty-eight years and seen him serve in many different
theatres of conflict, from Northern Ireland (where he was awarded
the Military Cross) to Bosnia and Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. His
experiences have forged an unwavering loyalty to the fighting
British soldier. As Chief of the General Staff, he was given
overall command of the British army at a time when the fighting was
fiercest in Afghanistan. But from his very first day in the job,
General Dannatt proved himself a courageous leader and a forceful
advocate for his men, never shying from controversy to tell the
truth as he found it. More than any leader in recent times, Dannatt
has used his position of command to get a better deal for the
British soldier - the right equipment, the right conditions, the
right reward - to do the job we ask of them. His leadership and
example have shaped the debate about the role of the professional
army in modern warfare. Leading from the Front is General Sir
Richard Dannatt's reflections on a life of military service which
offers a characteristically frank analysis of whether Britain's
defence strategy is fit to deal with the numerous threats we will
face in the 21st century.
