Ordeal of Victory

0/5 ( ratings)

The definitive account of the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the First World War.

The history of the Western Front and the First World War is one of battles of attrition against an entrenched enemy, with terrible casualties suffered by both sides in some of the worst fighting ever.

Over the years a picture has emerged of British generals, remote and detached from the reality of the trenches, who repeatedly sent their men to die in pointless attacks against the enemy. This book, by the renowned historian of the First World War John Terraine, scrupulously researched and brilliantly written, takes a more objective and accurate approach to the figure of Haig-the supreme commander of the British Army-and to the history of the war.

Language: English
