Man of War - John Masters


"Man of War" by John Masters, published by Warner Books in 1998, tells the story of Bill Miller, a career soldier whose extensive service spans key historical events, including World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II. 

Known for his tactical brilliance and bravery, Miller faces not only the challenges of war but also battles within the military establishment that scorn his unorthodox methods and humble background. 

The novel delves into his personal struggles, including strained relationships and a relentless drive for success. 

This narrative serves as both a compelling portrait of a soldier and a fitting epitaph to Masters' distinguished writing career, offering a nuanced exploration of duty, class, and personal sacrifice.
