About this item
The most authoritative and balanced biography of General Haig ever written by one of Britain's most respected military historians and based on years of painstaking research into primary sources. This book is a radical reassessment of Haig's role in modernising the British army, leading British forces to victory in the First World War and helping to secure the peace. It overturns many of the myths and misconceptions about Haig and his place in British history.
