Over the course of his 75 year career Field Marshal Bramall or Dwin as he is universally known has been in the forefront of military thinking. Clearly destined to reach the pinnacle of his profession he shone in a succession of prestigious appointments both in command and on the staff. He fought in Normandy, saw active service in Ireland and Borneo and masterminded the Falklands Campaign.As this unique collection of personal Papers , dating from the 1950s to the present day, testify, Bramall has never shied away from controversy or original thought, whether on low level leadership or higher military strategy.His views are far from predictable or trenchant as demonstrated by his changing nuclear stance and his clearly argued opposition in the House of Lords to intervention in Iraq.The publication of this unique collection of letters, lectures, speeches and theses on a wide range of topics gives the reader the opportunity to delve into a rich mine of sound military thinking and common sense.

Papers from a Soldiers Soldier

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Dwin Bramall has put together a fascinating collection of military papers; speeches to the House of Lords and reminisces. The last of WWII's serving soldiers, having landed on the Normandy Beaches in June 1944, he rose to become CGS and retiring with the rank of Field Marshal. I met Dwin Bramall on a couple of occasions and found him to be fascinatingly infirmative, always polite and a perfect host. Military Historians will welcome this collection of papers as will anyone joining the services. The Bramall Papers are very much a must read and an invaluable reference book
