Brigadier James Michael Calvert, DSO & Bar (6 March 1913 26 November 1998) was a British Army officer who was involved in special operations in Burma during the Second World War. He participated in both Chindit operations and was instrumental in popularizing the unorthodox ideas of Orde Wingate. He frequently led attacks from the front, a practice that earned him the nickname amongst the men under his command of "Mad Mike." RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
