Generals: Ten British Commanders Who Shaped the World by Mark Urban

Generals: Ten British Commanders Who Shaped the World by Mark Urban. This is a set of biographies of well what the subtitle says. The book includes George Monck, Marlborough, William Howe, Duke Of York, Wellington, Gordon, Kitchener, Allenby, J.F.C. Fuller and Montgomery. Naturally any student of British military history can quibble with the selections. Personally I would have included Wolf instead of Howe. That aside the biographies are pretty good. Urban doesn't shy away from criticizing when that's necessary. This is definitely popular history but it's still pretty good.
