Imperial High Command | Volume II
0His latest book, “Imperial High Command – Volume II” is a follow-up to his 2020 book on the senior officers who served the British Empire during 1900-1945.

This count includes several foreign officers who held honorary rank in the British armed forces. The officers whose biographies appear in this book represent the crème de la crème of the military profession.
