Item description from seller

Hardback. First Edition. The First World War Letters of General Horne. Horne's daily letters to his wife, drawn from his papers in the Imperial War Museum, allow a reappraisal of his reputation, which has hitherto been overshadowed, and in particular of his service as one of the senior commanders on the Western Front. Thanks to the patronage of Sir Douglas Haig and Sir William Robertson, Horne rose rapidly from relative obscurity through the ranks of the British Army's hierarchy. His letters shed light not only on his own personality and performances as a member of the British high command, which slowly matured into a successful cadre of leaders during the war, but also on the ethos of that group of senior officers and on how the victories of the British Armies prior to the Armistice of November 1918 were achieved. The correspondence in this volume brings out vividly the pressures of command in some of the most important operations of the war. Although best known for capturing Vimy Ridge in April 1917, Horne deserves to be better known for his many achievements on the Somme in 1916, at Hill 70 in August 1917 and, above all, during the victorious advance of the Last Hudnred Days of the war between August and November of 1918. The defeat of the German Army was the result of the innovations carried out by leaders such as Horne who implemented the hard-earned lessons of 1915-17. Frontispiece. 370 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo.
