Cover of Simon Anglim: Orde Wingate and the British Army, 1922-1944 (PDF)

Major General Orde Wingate (1903 1944) was the most controversial British military commander of the Second World War, and perhaps of the last hundred years. Anglim’s biography fills a significant void in the literature, making extensive use of Wingate’s papers to place him firmly in the context of the British army of the time.
