Leading from the Front An autobiography by General Sir Richard Dannatt

As Chief of the General Staff, Sir Richard Dannatt was in overall command of the British army for the three years from 2006. This title reflects on a life of military service and offers Richard's characteristically frank analysis of whether Britain's defence strategy is fit to respond to the threats we face in the 21st century.

"A passionate and searingly honest account of four decades of army service, it offers both a sober caution of the past and a carefully thought-out blueprint for the future" -- Saul David Sunday Telegraph "In this book, Sir Richard Dannatt has some thoughtful things to say not only about the past but also about the future shape of our forcesNo one can read it without being reminded that we need, as a country, to take the military covenant with our forces with the utmost seriousness." -- Richard Harries Church Times
