This is the title of my current read. It is about the military life and times of Lt Gen Arthur Earnest Percival, CB, DSO*, MC, OStJ, DL.

Percival was behind the biggest surrender in the United Kingdom's long military history to the Japanese in WW2.

This book gives the background to this momentous event and goes some way to re-instating Percival as one of the great Generals up until that point.
