The Lord Dannatt GCB, CBE, MC

Former British Army Chief of the General Staff

His distinguished service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Kosovo, and as professional head of the British Army during the most difficult years in Iraq and Afghanistan, mean he is well-placed to offer penetrating insights into defence and security policy, military leadership and strategy.

"Strategic - Operational - Tactical: A truly charismatic leader!"
