Double-weighted statement
'The Chief' brings a critical insight to bear on an issue that is central to debates on the British army in the First World War. It challenges the conventional, damning picture of Haig's generalship, in particular by stressing Haig's achievements as a 'war manager', underplayed by previous historians. This book was a result of decade of study of the voluminous sources in the UK and overseas, including previously unused or underused material.
