PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
General The Lord Dannatt GCB MC is the UK's foremost military commentator, frequently appearing on television and radio and in newsprint, most recently on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its implications for the West. As Chief of the General Staff his leadership and example were critical in shaping the debate about the role of the professional army in modern warfare. He was appointed to the House of Lords as a Crossbencher in 2010 and his autobiography, Leading From The Front (Bantam Press), was published the same year. Robert Lyman is one of Britain's top military historians. He spent 20 years in the British Army and he is currently a Research Fellow at the Changing Face of War Centre, Pembroke College, University of Oxford. His most recent book, A War of Empires (Bloomsbury/Osprey, 2021), was published to critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the RUSI Medal for Military History 2022.
Their analysis is succinct, scholarly, convincing, and, with the largest war since 1945 raging in Europe today, timely. It covers strategy, tactics, resources and capabilities, as one would expect, but also ranges far outside military explanations for the debacle, and will be the standard work on the subject for many years to come. * Andrew Roberts, author of 'Churchill: Walking with Destiny' * Powerful and well-researched, Victory to Defeat is a superb example of how history can explain the present and inform the future. Highly recommended. * Lloyd Clark, author of 'The Commanders' * An unflinching account of how the British Army threw away the hard-earned lessons of the Western Front, only to face defeat and ruin in France in 1940, which sends out a powerful message for our time: we must think deeply about war and warfighting, and support our fighting men and women with all that they need, if we are not to risk another seismic failure on the battlefield. An essential and urgent book. * Professor Nick Lloyd FRHistS, author of 'The Western Front' *
