General, feltmarskal Archibald Wavell's taler (krigstaler), direkte eller udsendt i radioen, under 2. Verdenskrig, i perioden 1939 til 1943. Wavell (1883-1950) var Commander-in-Chief Middle East, 1939-1941, og India, 1941-1943, og om udgivelsen af denne lille bog skriver han selv i forordet: "The pieces in this book represent practically the whole of my public utterances during just under four years as Commander-in-Chief. The only excuse for their publication can be that they give a reasonably clear picture of the outlook of one in high military position during the four years of war, rather grim years, when equipment was short and I was always at the far end of the supply queue. The future historian of the events of those four years will have before him a complete panorama, he will be able to observe each great incident from its inception to its conclusion, and he will be aware of the results which followed. Thus his description of a campaign or a period will be coloured by the knowledge of whether it was successful or a failure. No such knowledge illuminated these adresses when I made them. They are published as they were written, and each reflects the feeling of the moment"

In this two-part biography, Field Marshal Wavell, charts the rise of the 1st Viscount Allenby, from a lowly cavalry lieutenant to the rank of Field Marshal. Allenby was commissioned into the 6th Dragoons in 1880, well-liked by his contemporaries but never considered overly talented. However under fire and in contact with the enemy during the Boer War, Allenby's talents began to come to the fore; tough and disciplined, he was rapidly promoted with each battlefield success. Afflicted by a rabid temper, which led to towering rages at subordinates, he was nicknamed "The Bull". When Europe descended into chaos and the horrors of the First World War in 1914, Allenby was given command of the only British cavalry brigade to be sent to France in 1914. The cavalry distinguished itself in the chaotic fighting of 1914, particularly at the First Battle of Ypres. As trench warfare removed any possibility of a war of movement, Allenby transferred to command of V Corps and then to lead Third Army. Allenby's tactics including frequent counterattacks led to heavy casualties would lead to his transfer to Egypt. Allenby organised, planned and executed the campaign across Egypt and the Palestine that threw the Ottoman army back all the way Aleppo before the armistice in 1918. Allenby would stay on in Egypt as High Commissioner between 1919-1925, dealing with the fluid and tricky politics of the area before his eventual retirement
