D.W. Winnicott (1896-1971) was the first paediatrician in Britain to train as a psychoanalyst. In over forty years of clinical practice at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital, he brought unprecedented skill to the relatively new discipline of the psychoanalysis of children. His work is increasingly being regarded as one of the most influential contributions to psychoanalysis since Freud. His wife, Clare, was a renowned social worker.

Jeremy Black's book, another in the Cassell series, covers both familiar and unfamiliar ground. He deals with Marlborough, Frederick the Great and the young Bonaparte; but looks also at Chinese, Indian and African warfare as well as the American War of Independence. His text is as interesting as his pictures are superb. (Kirkus UK)
