Promotion Examination are important milestones in the career of an Army Officer. Not only do they afford the achievement of a substantive rank, but also add to his professional knowledge.

Time for study is always at a premium. There are far too many professional, social and domestic commitments that detract from an officer`s preparation schedule. The problem is even more acute when studying for the Military History paper. The prescribed and preparatory books are not always available. To meet this requirement for adequate preparation by Army Officers, the author has distilled the essentials of the Campaign and Personality in one volume, that can serve as a quick ready reference. The books are written in an easy to understand language accompanied with simple maps.
