General Sir Richard Shirreff

Born in Kenya in 1955 where he spent his early years, Richard
Shirreff commissioned into the British Army as a cavalry officer
after reading history at Oxford. In his 37 years of service he
commanded soldiers on operations from the most junior to the
most senior levels. He saw combat as a tank commander in the
First Gulf War, experienced many of the complexities of
Northern Ireland during his three tours there and learned firsthand
the challenges of bringing peace to the Balkans in both
Kosovo and Bosnia. He returned to Iraq as a multinational
commander in 2006-7. When not in command he spent time
either being educated in the art and science of war on a succession
of different command and staff courses or in a range of
posts as a formulator or executor of policy in the Ministry of
Defence and Army Headquarters. His last seven years in uniform
were spent in two senior NATO command posts: Commander
ofthe Allied Rapid Reaction Corps and Deputy Supreme Allied
Commander Europe; the Alliance's deputy strategic commander
and the most senior British general in the Alliance.
Since leaving the Army he has set up Strategia Worldwide, a
risk management consultancy, He and his wife have two adult
children and one grandchild, and live with their two springer
spaniels in Hampshire. This is his first book.
