A question-mark still hangs over the career of Orde Wingate. Few doubt that the Chindit Commander was a brave and resourceful soldier. But since his death on active service in 1944 his personal character and military effectiveness have been heavily criticised, both publicly and privately. Major-General Derek Tulloch is well-placed to examine these criticisms. He knew Wingate from the time when they were cadets at the ‘Shop’ (the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich) until Wingate’s death when Tulloch was serving as his Chief Staff Officer in Burma.
