Description
General Sir David Richards' remarkable career spans over forty years of service in the British Army, taking him from junior officer to Chief of the Defence Staff. With a distinguished record that includes commanding forces in various hotspots around the world, he offers an unflinching account of his experiences.
In this candid and often humorous memoir, Richards shares his story, reflecting on the changing nature of modern military life over the last forty years. He recounts his most notable achievements, including bringing together a coalition of forces in Sierra Leone to end one of the region's bloodiest civil wars, and his time as Governor of Berlin's Spandau Prison.
Written with openness and honesty, Taking Command provides unprecedented insight into the readiness of our military to tackle the challenges we face today. A gripping and thought-provoking read, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in military history and politics.
