Military biography

Released in pub

Picked up from Jeremiah's Taproom, Sun 08 Mar, as pretty sure have a brother-in-law who would be pleased to give this a go. [Not read this myself.]
---------------------

Synopsis: General Sir Richard Dannatt's distinguished career in the British army spanned thirty-eight years and saw him serve in many different theatres of conflict, from Northern Ireland (where he was awarded the Military Cross) to Bosnia and Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. From his very first day in the job, General Dannatt proved himself a courageous leader and a forceful advocate for his men, never shying from controversy to tell the truth as he found it.

Leading from the Front is General Sir Richard Dannatt's reflections on a life of military service which offers a characteristically frank analysis of whether Britain's defence strategy is fit to deal with the numerous threats we will face in the 21st Century.

Already with its intended recipient who kindly held off making a 'caught' journal entry till I had officially made a 'release' journal entry! Book 9 of an ADVENT CALENDAR OF BOOKCROSSING BOOKS sent to eager readers in Somerset. OK, yes, I did not read this from cover to cover though I dipped into it. I am hoping the next reader can offer something much more to the point with his comments! Happy reading honorary BookCrosser Mr F9.

FESTIVE GREETINGS from rainbow3. ��😃

[EDITED — Mon 28 Nov 2022]
Intended as a 2021 gift book it was actually held over for my 2022 Advent Book Box, project for Flutterbies9 and hubby in Somerset. Soon to travel though my tardy organisation and various Postal Strike delays impacting on its arrival, so, sorry about that!

[EDITED — Fri 24 FEB 2023]
...in a box containing other goodies this single book from my list of twenty-four intended Advent Calendar books:

1. —(9.) Leading From the Front - General Sir Richard Dannatt

Received in a parcel from rainbow3 in February 2023. Mr Flutterbies9 bore this off saying he knew of this person and that it sounded very interesting.

Mr Flutterbies9 raced through this (skimmed, I think) making appropriate noises off as he went. In honesty, I suspect it would have been gone through in more detail again later but brother Tony (a non Bookcrosser) was overanxious to get something decent to read and this was one of the books he really showed an interest in, particularly as he did 2 tours in Ireland during the times described. So, I was asked to parcel it up asap and it was sent off to him.

Sent out to a non Bookcrosser (unfortunately) as he was over anxious for a decent read.
