Wingate of Burma, Ethiopia, and Zion.
This is the biography of Orde Charles Wingate, arguably the most eccentric and charismatic of all the generals on either side of World War Two.
Winston Churchill thought him a military genius; others considered him greatly overrated; a few even thought him mad. His overriding passion was for Zionism, a cause which he embraced when posted to British-ruled Palestine in 1936. But his most famous campaign was conducted behind enemy lines in Burma, where his Chindits shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility in jungle fighting.
A brilliant maverick, Wingate was a difficult if not impossible subordinate. He was also - as this riveting new study reveals - an inspiring leader.
