על הספר
"Lord Freyberg ... is New Zealand's most distinguished soldier: he won a Victoria Cross in the First World War, commanded the 2nd New Zealands Division throughout the Second, from the ill-fated campaigns in Greece and Crete to the triumphs in North Africa and Italy, and thereafter became Governor-General of New Zealand 1946-52 ... Rising from subaltern to breigadier-general during [WWI], he established a reputation for courage, intelligence, and care for his men, both on the battlefield and off it. As a divisional commander, he was able to expand that reputation, until his Division became legendary for its skill and spirit. He ... moved with equal ease in English society or among the other ranks of his units. After his successful and popular vice-regal term he became a member of the Royal Household"--Publisher's description.
