Haig - Davidson

Haig. Master of the Field by Major General Sir John Davidson. From the blurb: "A distinguished soldier who had served in South Africa, the Author was selected to be Haig s Director of Operations in 1915, a key position he held until the end of the War. This book concentrates on the dramatic events of 1917 and 1918 and covers Third Ypres, the German onslaught (Kaiserschlacht), and the victorious 100 Days. We learn of the parlous state of the French Army, their loss of morale and the widespread mutinies. Davidson's viewpoint on the conduct of operations was unique and we learn of the factors at play in Haig's HQ." Illustrated. Hardcover. 158pp.
