Wars and Shadows by Sir David Fraser
General Sir David Fraser has enjoyed distinguished parallel careers as a soldier, novelist and historian. His memoirs provide an insight into literary, intellectual and military life in 20th century Britain. His perspective, as a serving soldier and writer, set him at odds with the prevailing hearty/aesthete dichotomy of that time and may yet serve to force us to revise our picture of the mid-20th century army as anti-intellectual, hidebound and narrow-minded.
David Fraser's previous books include the authorised biography of ALANBROOKE, his best-selling KNIGHT'S CROSS: A LIFE OF FIELD MARSHAL ERWIN ROMMEL and most recently FREDERICK THE GREAT, now regarded as the standard life in English, as well as seven novels.
