Customer Reviews
An interesting appraisal of the man who won the war in Burma
Slim the Standardbearer by Ronald Lewin is an interesting book dealing with one of the more forgotten heroes of the Second world War. It is well written with a nice even pace and deals quite adequately with both Slim's life before and after the army. However, at times it does seem a bit to uncritical of the man and his decisions and at times does show that it was originally written thirty odd years ago. Overall though it is a good book dealing with the general who was able to reinvigorate and inspire the British troops in S.E Asia and eventually lead them to victory after being so close to defeat.
