The good soldier : the biography of Douglas Haig
Mead, Gary2014
Books, Manuscripts
Rather than vilify Haig as a donkey who sent lions to the slaughter, this book demonstrates that Haig was very much the product of late Victorian Britain and its army. It looks at his early life and army career as well as covering the First World War and Haig's work on behalf of ex-servicemen's organizations.
