The true story of how Britain won the First World War. The popular
view of the First World War remains that of BLACKADDER: incompetent
generals sending brave soldiers to their deaths. Alan Clark quoted
a German general's remark that the British soldiers were 'lions led
by donkeys'. But he made it up. Indeed, many established 'facts'
about 1914-18 turn out to be myths woven in the 1960s by young
historians on the make. Gordon Corrigan's brilliant, witty history
reveals how out of touch we have become with the soldiers of
1914-18. They simply would not recognize the way their generation
is depicted on TV or in Pat Barker's novels. Laced with dry humour,
this will overturn everything you thought you knew about Britain
and the First World War. Gordon Corrigan reveals how the British
embraced technology, and developed the weapons and tactics to break
through the enemy trenches.
