BFBS Forces News presents Great British Battle Commanders hosted by Professor Michael Clarke, Sitrep’s defence analyst, assessing the leadership and strategy of Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery with the former Chief of the Army and former Chief of the Defence Staff, General Lord Richards.
The interview is recorded in the D-Day Map Room at Southwick House, outside Portsmouth, the former nerve centre for Operation Overlord.
Based on his book 'Great British Commanders', Michael Clarke asks what makes for successful command? Is success or failure wholly determined by the circumstances each commander faces – with a bit of luck thrown in? Or are there some essential truths about command and human nature which ultimately make the difference in battle?
