Man of War by John Masters

Miller was a career soldier – one of the best. He had twenty years and more of active service behind him – from the trenches of World War 1 to riot-torn India, from the Spanish Civil War to a heroic rearguard action at Dunkirk.

His tactical brilliance and unquestioned courage played their part, of course. But there were other battles he had to fight – with the old guard who despised his unorthodoxy, with brother officers who could never accept a shopkeeper’s son as one of their own, with the women whose love he jeopardised in his determination to succeed.

This is Miller’s story – a vivid, unforgettable portrait of a soldier. And this too is John Masters’ epitaph – the novel that only he could write.
