Biographical Dictionary of British Generals of the Second World War

by Nicholas Smart

Overview

The six years of prolonged world-wide conflict spawned some 340 serving generals in the British Army.

A number are household names (Montgomery, Slim, Wavell) and others well known to historians (Horrocks, Dempsey, Leese). But the vast majority are forgotten except by their families and regiments.

Yet there were a number of extraordinary characters, ranging from highly competent to downright inadequate.

The Author has researched and written entries on all, varying in length, according to the subject's importance.
