Overview

Major Crispin Black considers the course his life could have taken if he hadn't joined the army and emerges as the dominant character in Molly Dineen’s trilogy about 'The Prince of Wales' company of the Welsh Guards. Whilst ultimately concerned with the collective experience of the armed service, The Commander offers a rare insight into the hierarchy, discipline and ritual, as well as the camaraderie and loyalty that define an army regiment.
