Description
Jottings in a General’s Notebook is a reflective collection of memoirs, observations, and anecdotes drawn from the career and personal life of Michael Gow, a retired senior general in the British Army.

The entries range from professional moments and encounters within the armed forces to personal reflections, revealing the human dimension behind rank and command. Written in a conversational and anecdotal style, the book provides a glimpse into the mindset, values, and daily realities of a senior military officer, making it of interest to readers of military memoir, leadership writing, and twentieth-century British military history.
