This is the first systematic scholarly study of the historiography
of the First World War. The First World War remains controversial
in its conduct and broader implications, and this volume explores
many issues which continue to cause debate, such as Haig's
generalship, the role of T.E. Lawrence in the Arab Revolt, and the
failure of the Dardanelles campaign. It also examines the new
approaches to the war stimulated by the fiftieth anniversaries in
the 1960s, and follows them through to contemporary concern with
the experiences of ordinary soldiers and their chroniclers. The
contributors are leading historians of the First World War. They
draw their material from a wide range of contemporary sources and
subsequent accounts, and make full use of recent research. They
provide new insights into the age-old problems of war and attitudes
to warfare. Their purpose is to demonstrate how our understanding
of war and our image of the First World War have been shaped by the
historical writing of the twentieth century.
