Overview:

As Ian Fleming combined his intimate knowledge of the inner functions of the British Secret Service, with a wonderful imagination and evocative writing to create the James Bond novels, W.B. ‘Sandy’ Thomas has combined his top-level experience in the British army with his remarkable writing ability to bring to life A Glimpse of Utopia.
The author of the autobiographical best-seller Dare to be Free, Major General W.B. ‘Sandy’ Thomas CB, DSO, MC and Bar, ED, Silver Star (USA), rose through the ranks to become the last army commander of the British Far East Land Forces. His exceptional powers of observation, and ability to communicate were part of his success, and the reader of this story will appreciate the blend in this imaginative and well told story.

A note from the Author
This daydream, A Glimpse of Utopia, was written many, many ages ago by a young officer who adored his Queen and was fiercely proud of British tradition.
I present it now so that you, my friends, may dream a little with me.
