The "inner history" of the Supreme Command by long-serving secretary to the War Council & Cabinet (& creator of the Cabinet Secretariat), including inside knowledge of seemingly everybody & everything, including the Dardanelles & Mesopotamia Commissions, &c. "...the most extensive account hitherto of the deliberations of the War Council. The account was a fiercely damning indictment, made more striking by the fact that many of the retrospective criticisms of the supreme command had been made at the time by Hankey but had simply been swept aside..." - Edward Spiers in The First World War & British Military History. Valuable source. Orig. blue cloth, gilt, VG in dws, nice pair. See illustration on our website.
