Based on Allan Mallinson's highly-praised series in The Times that chronicled the progress of the First World War month by month, Fight to the Finish is a unique and definitive single-volume portrait of 'The War to end War'.
A professional solder for thirty-five years, Allan Mallinson began
writing while still serving.
His first book was a history of four regiments of British light
dragoons, one of which he commanded. His debut novel was the
bestselling A Close Run Thing, the first in an acclaimed series
chronicling the life of a fictitious cavalry officer before and
after Waterloo (The Tigress of Mysore is the fourteenth in the
series). His The Making of the British Army was shortlisted for a
number of prizes, while 1914- Fight the Good Fight won the British
Army's 'Book of the Year' Award. Its sequel, Too Important for the
Generals, is a provocative look at leadership during the Great War,
while Fight to the Finish is a comprehensive history of the First
World War, month by month.
Allan Mallinson reviews for the Spectator and the TLS and also
writes for The Times. He lives on Salisbury Plain.
Excellent . . . [Mallinson] has carried off a seemingly impossible
task and rather than dismissing this as yet another title on the
conflict it should be considered the primer for anyone new to the
era. Thoroughly enjoyable, hugely informative and very easy to
read, this comes highly recommended.
*SOLDIER magazine 'Best of 2018'*
Notable for its clarity, and anyone requiring a digestible
narrative summary of the fighting . . . would be advised to start
here.
*SPECTATOR*
A wonderful series
There is no finer military historian
I could not believe that [there was] anything new to say . . . but
how wrong I was!
