A propos de cet article

Signed by Jan Smuts below his frontispiece portrait on a raised plate. Also signed and inscribed by Isie Smuts, wife of Jan Smuts, and dated by her 24 May 1917, on the front free endpaper. Very good condition. Spine and part of the front cover are sunned and raised title label on spine faded with a couple of very small stains. Hinge split inside front board but binding still solid. Small chip to surface cloth on spine. Early in 1917, Smuts left Africa and went to London, as he had been invited to join the Imperial War Cabinet and the War Policy Committee by David Lloyd George. Smuts initially recommended renewed Western Front attacks and a policy of attrition, lest with Russian commitment to the war wavering, France or Italy would be tempted to make a separate peace.

Edmund Allenby was appointed instead. Like other members of the War Cabinet, Smuts's commitment to Western Front efforts was shaken by Third Ypres. In 1917, following the German Gotha Raids, and lobbying by Viscount French, Smuts wrote a review of the British Air Services, which came to be called the Smuts Report. He was helped in large part in this by General Sir David Henderson who was seconded to him. This report led to the treatment of air as a separate force, which eventually became the Royal Air Force.…
