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.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Vividly written, and with the driest humour, this irreverent look at how Britain really won World War I demolishes myth upon myth. What becomes brilliantly (and amusingly) clear is just how many "established facts" have absolutely no basis in reality; instead they're fabrications created in the 1960s by young historians on the make. The soldiers from 1914-18 would simply not recognize their popular depiction on TV and in novels: instead, we see here how much the British embraced technology and developed the weapons and tactics that broke through enemy trenches.
