Field Marshall the Viscount Slim (1891 - 1970) was blessed with none of the advantages of wealth or social position that eased the progress of many British Army Officers. But using his personality, integrity, and his intellect, he rose to the pinnacle of his profession as one of the finest fighting generals of World War II. This prizewinning biography chrats Slim's life from humble beginnings, through service in the First World War & inter war years in India, to his leadership of the 14th Army in Burma, leading the "forgotten Army" to victory, recapturing Burma in a series of briliant campaigns. Beloved by his troops, even the gallant and unruly Australians, he served as CIGS, as a very popular Governor General of Australia, and as Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle.

A fascinating read. Includes index, bibliography, black & white photos & illustrations and maps.
