Churchill and His Generals by Raymond Callahan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.5 MB
Overview: On the eve of World War II, the British army was more an international police force than a true combat-ready fighting machine. Raymond Callahan chronicles its trial-by-fire transformation in a new and unflinching look at Great Britain’s top commanders in the field.
Callahan reexamines the much-maligned performance of the British army in that war by reevaluating its commanders’ victories and defeats, their leadership abilities and flaws, and their often rocky relationships with Prime Minister Winston Churchill, whose powerful presence looms over every page. Revisiting wartime theaters stretching from Southeast Asia across India through the Middle East, into North Africa, and across Europe, Callahan revises and expands our understanding of how British commanders-both the best and worst-led their troops and executed their strategies.
