About This Item
London: Macdonald and Co, 1972. Major-General Orde Charles Wingate, DSO and two bars (26 February 1903 24 March 1944), was a British Army officer and creator of special military units in Palestine in the 1930s and in World War II. A highly religious Christian, Wingate became a supporter of Zionism, seeing it as his religious duty to help the Jewish community in Palestine form a Jewish state. Assigned to the British Mandate of Palestine in 1936, he set about training members of the Haganah, the Jewish paramilitary organization, which became the Israel Defense Forces with the establishment in 1948 of the state of Israel.[5] He is most famous for his creation of the Chindits, airborne deep-penetration troops trained to work behind enemy lines in the Far East campaigns against the Japanese during World War II. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
