The Architect of Victory : The Military Career of Lieutenant General Sir Frank Horton Berryman Author: Peter Dean

ISBN: 9780521766852 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 406 Published: 14 February 2011 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 22.8 x 15.2 x 3.0 Description: Lieutenant General Sir Frank Berryman is one of the most important, yet relatively unknown officers in the history of the Australian Army.

Despite his reputedly caustic personality and noted fallouts with senior officials, Berryman was critical to Australia's success during World War II. But did the man known as 'Berry the Bastard' deserve his reputation? Bold, calculated and talented, Berryman was at the forefront of operations that led to the defeat of the Japanese and his tactical planning secured Australia's victory at Bardia, Tobruk and other battles during the Pacific War.

With access to rare private papers, this book charts Berryman's special relationship with senior US officials such as Macarthur and explains why the man poised to become the next Chief of General Staff would never fulfil his ambition.
