. Uses previously unavailable archival evidence to challenge
earlier theories
The popular image of the First World War is dominated by two
misconceptions. The first holds that the war was an exercise in
futility in which incompetent upper class generals callously
sacrificed an entire generation of young men to no good purpose.
The second holds that the debate about British strategic policy
during the First World War was a gladiatorial contest between brass
hats' (generals), and frock coats' (politicians).
Historians, denied access for too long to the contemporary records
of the private deliberations of policy-makers, had been forced to
follow both interpretations. David French challenges this orthodoxy
and suggests that the policy-makers were united in trying to relate
strategic policy to a carefully considered set of war aims. His
challenging conclusion is that the policy-makers never lost sight
of their goal, which was to ensure that Britain fought the war at
an acceptable cost and emerged from it with its security enhanced
against both its enemies and its allies."
