Freyberg is a fascinating study of New Zealand's most famous general during his most consequential years 1941-1945. With the recent declassification of intelligence material, used particularly in Crete and Mareth, Freyberg's command capability can be seen in a new light.
This book condradicts previous accounts that contradict freyberg's competence and describes him as cautious.. It reassesses his capacity for higher command, particularly under the impossible circumstances he was faced with and his having to adjust continually to new superiors with different demands.
Freyberg's innovative capacity, consistent ability, tenacity and personal bravery are highlighted during his command in Crete, the Western Desert, Mareth and Cassino. The authors examine freyberg's battle plans and explain why he deserved to be called 'Salamander of the British Empire'.
