See all formats and editions
Alastair Pearson is one of the very small band of men to have achieved the distinction of winning the DSO and three bars. Add to this fact that he also won the Military Cross and is further entitled to the post-nominal letters CB, OBE, TD and HML and it will be readily understood that this is a book about a very remarkable man. Includes 12 black and white plates.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Leader of men
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019

    Great story about a remarkable soldier that led his way. His views on leadership at the end of the book should be reviewed by all those in a leadership position. One could say he had a bit of luck yet he put himself in position to lead and thus influence the conflicts that he and his troops found themselves in each time. Resolute capable soldier who men would follow

    I knew the Brig to look at when I was a boy, little did I know of this humble man and his heroics during the war, a commendable read to anyone interested in second world war history.

    I had the pleasure of meeting this extraordinary gentleman and realised why he was so well respected by all who served under him in world war two.
