To find an example of a full and successful, yet unconventional,
military career, one need look no further than General 'Jim' Wilson.
Always an outstanding sportsman, Jim found himself in the Rifle
Brigade after Oxford just before the Second World War. His memoir
concentrates on six of his major military endeavors; North Africa as a
platoon commander followed by the long struggle up through Italy, both
with the Rifle Brigade. After the war he was sent to India and became
caught up in the momentous events of Partition, and in a position to
comment on all the key political and military personalities. His
career prospered and he was one of the first commanders of a major
peacekeeping operation in Cyprus, again closely involved with leaders
such as Archbishop Makarios.
