Unusual Undertakings: Military Memoirs by Sir James Wilson by James Wilson
To find an example of a full and successful, yet unconventional, military career, one need look no further than Lieutenant-General 'Jim' Wilson. In this book, he has selected six episodes from his military career and related them in detail, demonstrating that, whatever the stakes and they were often high, Jim Wilson managed to bring a lightness of touch and humour to any situation. Luckly he may have been on many occasions but, talent, character and initiative regularly saved the day. This is an absorbing memoir which will both entertain and inform.
Lieutenant General Sir James Wilson KBE, MC, DL was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. He served with The Rifle Brigade in North Africa and Italy during the Second World War and in India, Pakistan, Cyprus amongst other theatres. He was the Football correspondent of The Sunday Times from 1957-1990, while still serving in a variety of increasingly senior posts. Now retired, he lives in Fulham, South West London. He is a Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire.
