Episode 4: General Sir Barney White-Spunner, Britain’s commanding officer in southern Iraq

General Sir Barney White-Spunner is this month’s guest on our monthly podcast: General Talk. General White-Spunner talks freely to podcast host, Harry Bucknall, about his time as Britain’s commanding officer in southern Iraq; and the difficulties faced by the Army being engaged in two major operations, Iraq and Afghanistan, at the same time. 

 

General White-Spunner goes on to talk about his newly-released book, Berlin: The Story of a City.
