| 520 | _aStudy of eight very different generals (Japanese, British, American) who held command during the Second World War. They are Yamashita, Percival, Hutton, Irwin, Mountbatten, Stilwell, Mutaguchi, and Slim. The book shows the critical importance of leadership and how these very different characters exercised their commands. The final chapter discusses general and generalship noting that Britains poor showing in terms of Generals in the early years of the war could be ascribed to an almost total absence of education and training at senior levels. | ||
