Review
Last year, a poll at the National Army Museum to determine Britain's greatest general ended in a tie between Wellington and Slim. This biography will do much more to tip the scales. It pays magnificent tribute to Slim in a very well-informed assessment of what he did to deserve this accolade. It is a most exciting read, full of vivid, even lurid descriptions of the sufferings inflicted by the terrain and the climate as well as by the bestiality of the Japanese enemy... [a] forcefully written biography (Peter Lewis DAILY MAIL)
readable, well-constructed and robustly... expressed (Andro Linklater THE SPECTATOR)
Precision and easy-going style have added appreciably to the historical record of `Uncle Bill` Slim and the extraordinary skill and fortitude of his campaigns. (Andrew Lycett LITERARY REVIEW)
Russell Miller gives an admirable account. (Piers Brendon THE OLDIE)
Book Description
Masterly biography of the 'greatest commander of the 20th century'.
