Command: How the Allies Learned to Win the Second World War

In this book Al Murray doesn't attempt to give us a comprehensive study of how allied command developed in WW2. Instead he gives ten case studies of WW2 commanders of various ranks – some famous, some obscure, some successful, others not so much. Well researched and written with considerable detail and a bit of dry wit, this isn't a dull history but rather an interesting picture of men under pressure struggling with a difficult job. I found this rather short book to be quite thought provoking. Especially the chapters dealing with the Burma campaign, which I knew little about, were quite enlightening to me.
Good book. 4+ stars
