'Elegantly written and beautifully produced' TLS How 'Uncle Bill'
won the war in Burma Defeated and demoralised, British units in the
Far East had virtually been ejected from Burma when, in 1943,
General W. J. Slim organised, trained and then deployed his famous
'forgotten' 14th Army to devastating effect, defeating the Japanese
twice and liberating Burma in the process. One of the most
innovative soldiers of his generation, Slim's 'smart' style of
soldiering was startling in its modernity - and with it he achieved
something no one believed possible. An intelligent, compassionate
commander, the unconventional Slim was also a heroic figure to the
men he commanded - known affectionately to the ranks as 'Uncle
Bill'. This biography tells the fascinating story of how he brought
victory out of defeat; Lyman now gives him his rightful place,
alongside Patton and Guderian, in the pantheon of eminent and
unorthodox Second World War commanders.
