Review
"A shell-burst of a book" * The Economist * "An eloquent and painful book... Clark leaves the impression that vanity and stupidity were the main ingredients of the massacres of 1915. He writes searingly and unforgettably" -- George Malcolm Thomson * Evening Standard * "Mr Clark writes with verve, venom and real feeling for the men whose lives the brasshats squandered" -- Paul Johnson * New Statesman * "So far from being "just another war book" that it is likely to be bought and read for years to come" -- Vernon Fane * Sphere * "He is a writer with considerable gifts both of description and narrative. His subject gives them plenty of scope; indeed his descriptions of battles and battlefields are sometimes masterly" -- Michael Howard * Listener *

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tragic fate of the British Expeditionary Force in 1915, the year that saw the core of its professional soldiers decimated in the trenches of Flanders. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the author paints a vivid picture of the appalling conditions and strategic blunders that led to unimaginable casualties. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Great War, a conflict that shattered the illusions of a generation and forever altered the landscape of Europe. The author meticulously examines the leadership of figures like Sir John French and Douglas Haig, revealing their shortcomings and the devastating consequences of their decisions. This book is more than just a chronicle of battles and casualties. It explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. It delves into the psychological toll on soldiers forced to endure unimaginable hardship, and the complex dynamics at play within the British high command. Ultimately, this book serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in the First World War, and the importance of learning from the mistakes of the past.
