Field Marshal Viscount Slim (1891-1970) led shattered British forces from Burma to India in one of the lesser-known but more nightmarish retreats of World War II. He then restored his army's fighting capabilities and morale with virtually no support from home and counterattacked. His army's slaughter of Japanese troops ultimately liberated India and Burma.

The first edition of Defeat into Victory, published in 1956, was an immediate sensation selling 20,000 copies within a few days. This is an updated version with a new introduction by David W. Hogan Jr.

A surprisingly human look at a man commanding an army that could safely be called the unwanted step child of the Allied effort in Ww2.

A leader uniquely suited to the theater he was assigned.

If there were one book the I could make required reading for military cadets and leaders, this would be it. Field Marshall Slim is surely the most humble man ever to hold that rank in any army. His writing style is engaging and informative, and the gentleman who performed the reading is masterly. One of the best books I have listened to on Audible.

Narration is clear.

What an entirely likable, competent, humble, smart, compassionate, brave leader. An object lesson to be sure.

No wonder his soldiers loved him.

Exemplary leadership

Having read around 50 books about WWII in the past few years I can confidently say that this is one of the best. It was written by a person with better knowledge of it's specific subject that maybe anyone else could possibly have. It is a human book written by a person unusually humble given what he accomplished.

Top notch

Viscount Slim’s book Defeat into Victory gives an in-depth perspective on leadership during the dark days of the Burma campaign and its victory. I recommend this book for young leaders, whether they are in the military or not.
