Soft cover. Condition: Fair. This is a written summary of the Lees Knowles Lectures at Trinity College given by Sir Archibald Wavell on Generalship in 1941."When you did me the honour to ask me to deliver this series of lectures I chose, instead of a campaign or period of history, as I believe has been customary, to inflict upon you some general observations on generals and generalship. I felt that certain points which I wished to put before you with regard to the study of military history could thus be better illustrated than in the relation of some particular campaign. Comparatively few of you are perhaps likely to become generals; but many of you are likely to suffer, perhaps even to triumph, under generals; and all of you are likely to have opportunity to criticize generals. I should like your criticism to be as well informed as possible. Generalship, and especially British generalship, has had a bad Press since the late War; and I am afraid that the public idea of a British general is still represented to many by a popular poster of the day calling attention to the merits of "Oxo." I am not proposing to deliver to you an apologia for generals, but to explain the qualities necessary for a general and the conditions in which he has to exercise his calling."Ex military Library stock so expect to see light wear and possible markings and annotations in the text.
