Forceful challenge to the literary myths (from the anti-war books of a disproportionately small number of famous poets to 'Oh What A Lovely War' &, more recently, 'Blackadder') that have eclipsed the outstanding military achievement of the British Army, its officers & men. Happily, the author concludes that "historians are at last permitting the First World War to be placed in proper perspective." Original hardback edition, VG in dw. See illustration on our website.
