Pithy, humorous, engaging but above all wise… will guide future generations of our military leaders, but will also fascinate the general reader for their insights into how world-changing decisions are made* Professor Andrew Roberts *
A lively and engaging account of a life well lived… [a] fascinating memoir. * Lady Antonia Fraser *
Charles Guthrie has been one of Britain’s foremost soldiers as well as a terrific personality throughout his remarkable life. It is great that he is now telling his own story. * Sir Max Hastings *
[Lord Guthrie’s] boldness and humour make the book fizz. * Michael Portillo *
There is profound wisdom in these engaging memoirs, written with wry humour and a deceptively light touch. -- Allan Mallinson * The Spectator *
