Description
Slim, Master of War Burma, 1942-5 by Robert Lyman The story of General W. J. Slim's remarkable military campaign in Burma during World War II is one of the most innovative and successful of the war. In 1943, Slim led his 14th Army to devastating effect, defeating the Japanese twice and liberating Burma. This biography tells the fascinating tale of how he achieved this remarkable victory. Slim was a highly intelligent and compassionate commander who commanded respect from his men. He is now given his rightful place alongside other notable Second World War commanders in this well-researched and elegantly written book.
