Foreword by Sir Maurice Wilkes. Illustrated in b&w. Includes notes & sources, plus index. "Scientist and Soldier is a biography of Sir Basil Schonland FRS (1896-1972). Schonland was a major contributor to twentieth-century British and Commonwealth science, both in peace and war. This is not just a scientific biography, but a biography that tells much of a highly placed scientist and administrator, of the increasing engagement between science and the military, and of changing military-diplomatic relationships between Britain and South Africa. The author has drawn on a profusion of primary and secondary source material, from both South African and British archives, to produce a fine biography that is very readable and interesting." Printed in the UK. Bound in original black boards with bright gilt lettering to spine, in publisher's unclipped pictorial dustjacket. A very nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. Heavy volume. 639pp. SB-15.
