A revealing study on British military leadership in WWI. How those responsible for catastrophic defeats were able to retain their commands. Were they incompetent or uncaring? Haig's army suffered 60,000 casualties on the first day on the Somme in 1916, but he was still in command after 5 months and another 400,000 casualties. The author draws on the memories and writings of those who took part.
