Military maverick

Eric Dorman-Smith

A follow-up to biography 'Chink', this selection from private letters and intimate war diary has the impact of a fresh 'no holds barred' autobiography. Dorman-Smith the man - flesh and blood - comes alive here on the page. Provocative, irreverent, caustic and witty, his disdain for Churchill - and for the Establishment in general - increases as his military career unravels. Egotistical? Yes. Arrogant? Certainly. His own worst enemy? Perhaps. But Dorman-Smith's grasp of tactics and strategy was unsurpassed, as his exchanges with Basil Liddell-Hart demonstrate.
