| Summary / Abstract (Note) | During his tenure as the head of the British Army General Sir Richard Dannatt became the most controversial British military figure since the end of the Second World War, due to his high public profile, unmatched since that of Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery over 60 years earlier. Critics have charged that at times his behaviour went beyond the boundaries of the United Kingdom's unwritten constitution, and strategists and readers of Survival may have been put off from reading his memoirs by his appearances in the British media, or by his decision (about which he subsequently expressed regret) to accept an invitation to advise the then opposition Conservative Party shortly after he retired in 2009. |
