''Charles Guthrie has been one of Britain''s foremost soldiers as well as a terrific personality throughout his remarkable life. It is great that he is now telling his own story.'' - Sir Max Hastings

Peace, War and Whitehall details Lord Guthrie''s extraordinary career from a young platoon commander through to Chief of the Defence Staff.
