Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie commanded at every level in the British Army from platoon to army group, and was Britain’s senior military commander at a time of great change. He oversaw the modernization of the armed forces following the Cold War years and led Britain’s military involvement in operations in the Balkans and Sierra Leone. Charles Guthrie was commissioned into the British Army in 1959 at a time when Britain’s influence was shrinking throughout the world, and Peace, War and Whitehall describes his operational experience with both the Welsh Guards and 22 SAS in Aden, Malaya, East Africa, Cyprus and Northern Ireland. ‘Peace, War and Whitehall’ details Lord Guthrie’s extraordinary career from a young platoon commander through to Chief of the General Staff.
