Orde Charles Wingate was arguably the most eccentric and charismatic of all the generals on either side of World War Two, and prehaps the most brilliant and innovative.  Winston Churchill thought him a military genius; others considered him greatly over rated; a few even thought him mad.  Almost sixty years after his untimely death in an air crash aged forty-one, Wingate remains one of the most controversial of all World War Two commanders and his most daring campaign, against the Japanese in Burma with the Chindit force he created, has an almost legendary status.
