Description: Folio Society: “Defeat Into Victory” by Field Marshal Viscount Slim. Bound in blocked cloth with a blocked spine label. Brand New Sealed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What’s it about? This is Field Marshal William Slim’s dramatic first-hand account of his decisive command during the Burmese campaign of 1942–45. Its monumental narrative takes us inside Slim’ mind as he oversees the British Army’s desperate 900-mile retreat into India following the Japanese invasion; rallies his troops for the last-ditch battles of Imphal and Kohima, the ‘Stalingrad of the East’; and leads them on the triumphant race to recapture Rangoon. With wry humour, and a heavy dose of self-criticism, Slim recalls how he took an army shattered by defeat and patiently rebuilt its morale, restored its health, and turned it into a fighting force capable of inflicting the greatest land defeat ever sustained by the Japanese army. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Condition: This copy is Brand New.
