Imagine how many lives would have been saved had the war in Europe
finished in December 1944 instead of five months later... David
Colley analyses critical mistakes made by the Allied supreme
commander, General Dwight Eisenhower, in the last nine months of
the war. He argues that had Eisenhower been more adept at taking
advantage of several potential breakthroughs in the Siegfried Line
in the fall of 1944 the war in the European Theatre of Operations
might have ended sooner. The book details the American penetration
of the Siegfried Line in mid-September and their advance into
Germany at Wallendorf before the troops were called back. It also
examines in detail operations in the Stolberg Corridor and the
actions of General Lucian Truscott. It compares the battles at
Wallendorf and Stolberg with Operation Market Garden, and assesses
the effectiveness of these operations and the use of the troops.
Eisenhower later called off another operation in November 1944,
already in progress, to cross the Rhine and destroy the German 1st
Army north of Strasbourg. American and German generals believe this
operation would have shortened the war. The Folly of Generals
explores these potential breakthroughs – along with other
strategic and tactical mistakes in the ETO and in Italy, some never
before revealed – that might have shortened the war by a
considerable margin.
As of 2016 the Department for Education (DfE) want to ensure all
trainee teachers have an understanding of emotional development and
attachment, and so this book presents the key concepts that are
essential for training in this area to ensure all teachers are up
to date. Attachment issues and mental health have a huge impact on
pupils' performance and so an understanding of young people's
emotional development is crucial for any teacher. Increasing
teachers understanding and skills around emotional development can
prevent many long term mental health difficulties in our schools
and in our communities. Key topics such as attachment theory,
emotion coaching, tackling disruptive behaviour and the trauma
continuum are introduced and explained, with advice and tips for a
classroom setting offered throughout. The experiences of
practitioners in the field are presented alongside those of
researchers, offering a range of diverse perspectives including
education, psychology and health. This is an essential text for
trainee and practising teachers.
