About this ebook
As this unique collection of personal Papers , dating from the 1950s to the present day, testify, Bramall has never shied away from controversy or original thought, whether on low level leadership or higher military strategy.
His views are far from predictable or trenchant as demonstrated by his changing nuclear stance and his clearly argued opposition in the House of Lords to intervention in Iraq.
The publication of this unique collection of letters, lectures, speeches and theses on a wide range of topics gives the reader the opportunity to delve into a rich mine of sound military thinking and common sense.
Field Marshal Lord Bramall
Field Marshal The Lord Bramall of Bushfield KG GCB OBE MC was educated at Eton College before being commissioned into the King’s Road Rifle Corps in 1943, taking part in the Normandy landings. He was awarded the Military Cross in March 1945. His career progressed rapidly, instructing at the School of Infantry and the Staff College, Camberley before serving on Lord Mountbatten’s staff, earning his OBE.

In 1979 he was appointed Chief of the General Staff playing a key role in the Falklands War before being promoted to Field Marshal as Chief of Defence Staff in 1982.
