'A biography that is not just academically credible but which
is also a very good read. I shall be very surprised if it does not
sell'
*Gordon Corrigan, Military Historian and Broadcaster*
'A thoughtful reassessment'
*Stand To!*
'Sharp and clear...swift and surefooted'
*The Scotsman*
'A careful biographer'
*Times Literary Supplement*
'Those new to the Haig debate will receive a good introduction.
Those already familiar with the subject matter will enjoy Reid's
writing style and reflective moments'
*The British Army Review*
'Walter Reid's account of one of the most controversial figures in
modern British history is both fair and just, two achievements that
have eluded many writers on Douglas Haig. He has the historian's
eye, which can see the significance of the apparently
inconsequential'
*John Bourne, University of Birmingham*
'An outstanding success. The argument is beautifully presented and
written in very clear English. This is a substantial work which
follows the rules of classical biography'
*Politique étrangère*
