Vigorously pro-Haig & based on access to his private diaries & correspondence, but much useful material especially on the 1918 campaign. Falls criticises the work ("[the writers] continuously overreach themselves in attempting to prove too much... their references to the French are frequently unfair") but, awarding a Star, accedes that the book has "a certain importance... one of the few in which the final plan of campaign that brought victory on the Western Front is clearly explained." Orig. red cloth, gilt, VG, nice clean copies. See illustration on our website.
£35
