Winston Churchill described Wingate as a 'man of genius who might well have become a man of destiny'. Tragically, he died in an aircraft crash in 1944. Like his famous kinsman Lawrence of Arabia, Wingate was renowned for being an unorthodox soldier, inclined to reject received patterns of military thought. This book tells his story.
