If one was looking to get one book to learn about Douglas Haig, this is the volume to get a copy of. At the same time, it is a book that you can dip into. References are at the end of each chapter which makes the book particularly useful for quick research. The references contain a vast array of historiography which is of particular assistance for research.

There is much to be learnt from this excellent text, and any student of modern warfare, leadership should be a set text. As these leading scholars are blowing apart the lazy teaching of recent years and really giving us an insight into Haig without the hyperbole of late twentieth century scholars. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and it will may even challenge some of your modern conceptions about Haig.

If you have any interest in the British conduct of war, this is a vital book for your collection... A first class work and strongly recommended.
