The foreword states:

“I FEEL it a privilege to be able to say how warmly I welcome the publication of these lectures by General Wavell. They show very clearly how he and the army under his direction have gained their great victories in Africa and why they will gain others. For these lectures, though delivered over two years ago, could only have been delivered by a man capable of winning and keeping the confidence of all men in all walks of life. They deal with the relationships between man and man, on which must be founded both the success of an army and the success of a whole nation at war. I am glad indeed to think that they will have a wide audience, and particularly among soldiers, for whom they have deep lessons.

When General Wavell delivered these lectures not one in a hundred of his fellow- countrymen had ever heard of him. To-day there is not one in a million who has not heard of him. But I am confident that if the victorious general of to-day had to give his own reasons for his victory he would repeat word for word the principles enunciated by the general so little known to the public two years ago.

JOHN DILL.”
