Douglas Haig ;Architect of Victory [Buy it!] | Reid Walter | USD 25.34 (Sun May 26 07:10:35 2024) | Biblio | powellbooksofsomerset.co.uk | Uk: Birlinn, Date: 2006. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 64mo - up to 3' tall. This biography is the first study of Haig that takes into account a huge amount of modern scholarship. It presents a more rounded picture of the professional and private man than has previously been available. What emerges is a picture of a comprehensible human being, not necessarily particularly likeable, but honourably ambitious, able, intelligent, and the man more responsible for delivering a British-led victory in 1918 over a continental opponent on a scale that has never been matched before or since. There is a tear to the top of the back flap of the dust jacket. 2006. Birlinn ISBN 1841585173 9781841585178 [GB] |
