Orde Wingate and the British Army, 1922-1944 cover

Major General Orde Wingate (1903–1944) was the most controversial British military commander of the Second World War, and perhaps of the last hundred years. Anglim's biography fills a significant void in the literature, making extensive use of Wingate's papers to place him firmly in the context of the British army of the time.

'Anglim's excellent account is a valuable addition to the subject ... a first rate analysis, dispassionate and objective, about Wingate's influence on the development of military tactics during his life.' British Army Review 'Should you read it? If you are interested in 'Wingate the Legend', it is essential; if you want to see how ambitious and driven men on the make in war succeed, it is instructive ... a serious contribution.' Royal United Services Institute Journal
