Produktbeschreibung

This book, first published in 1988, is not simply a critique of Haigà â â s command in the war, but an exploration into his personality. Close attention to his early life and career reveals him as a creature of his society, a man who mirrored both the virtues and the faults of Edwardian Britain.
