Leaders: Profiles in Courage and Bravery in War and Peace 1917–2020

Forgotten stories of bravery brought back to life.



Leaders is a collection of personal stories from the courageous men and women of England's Pangbourne College. Spanning more than a century, these riveting accounts of war and peace are in danger of being forgotten today. Based on original research and neglected first-person accounts, it covers the period 1917-2020, with a particular emphasis on World War II, the Cold War, the Falklands War, and contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Authored by a former foreign correspondent and leading corporate writer, and with a foreword by a leading naval historian Captain Peter Hore RN, the book offers a global dimension and perspective.
