I've been reading this over the last week or so and it's been really good. I particularly enjoyed the interwar chapters, especially the punitive expedition in Waziristan, which reminded me of the stories my grandfather used to tell. It's all done in a very readable and entertaining style, so a bit of a page turner and well worth the time. There's some great scenario material in there too!
One of the most understated, yet successful generals Britain had in WW2. His memoirs are a good read, although he's a little disingenuous about the contribution made by the African divisions in Burma.
