A good book, but a poor biography.
The book has fascinating insights into WW II - this time from officer class - and the world of the theatre just pre- and post war. There are many stories about the people with whom Ian Carmicheal came into contact - and they are all dealt with in a generous manner: you just know that this sentence is building to a, "but", don't you? The "but" would be, that at the end, I do not feel that I know Mr. Carmicheal any more than when I started. Nobody seems to show more have riled him, faults have always been his; a true gent but, I would have liked to see beneath the exterior a little more. show less
