Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. General Sir David Fraser had two careers: as a distinguished British soldier and as a leading military biographer. His childhood was passed in grand houses in London and Scotland, but he was the son of anything but conventional parents, who Fraser sketches out in this book in all their bizarre and entertaining individuality. He then provides an account of becoming a soldier, the life of his regiment and his role as an officer in World War II. After the war he rose through the hierarchy (the acuteness of his mind earned him the nickname Fraser the Razor) until he became GOC of the British Army of the Rhine and Vice-Chief of the Defense Staff. 328 pages, including 16 pages of photographs. Unclipped dust jacket. This book does not appear to have been read, but there is a tiny dog-ear and a small mark on page 279. Some marks to the underside. Minor shelfwear to the jacket.
