Recenzii

Dick McCreery...was a professional soldier. The inter war years saw a time of study, sport, marriage and bloody hard work. He was fortunate to find favour with certain senior officers who looked kindly on him, most notably Alan Brooke the future CIGS. This meticulous biography presents it all in an easy to read way which carries the reader along happily and all too soon you'll find yourself where the book intends us to be all along; at the crucible - World War II. McCreery's war was a fascinating one...Richard Mead was encouraged by some very worthy historians to write this book and he has not let them down. There was a hole on the biographical shelf of British Generals and it has been filled. Rather than another volume on one of the established stars we've had one of the very important blanks filled in. Well done Mr Mead! - War History Online This is a gripping account...Excellent Biography 10/10 The Great War
