Synopsis
It may come as something of a surprise that there were so many British generals in service during the Second World War; in fact there were more than 750. This work serves as a useful reference work on the subject.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It may come as a surprise that there were as many as the 250 British generals featured in this book active in the War: In fact there were more than 750. The less important - or less interesting - have of course not been included. The longest entries are naturally on the major figures such as Brooke, Wavell, Auchinleck, Slim and Wingate, but there is considerable information on all those included gleaned from primary and secondary sources over many years of painstaking research. A great reference work but also marvellous to dip into. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
