Cloth. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Sword Bearers.Shelf wear to edges of D/J. Browning to spine of D/J. This book is a study of the great commanders on both sides in the First World War. it assesses the effect of individual character on great events and presents a masterly re-interpretation of the major issues of the war. Like the author's last book The Desert Generals, it gives most vigorous and moving portraits of men under the stress of supreme command, and discusses their handling of events and their relations with colleagues, politicians and subordinates. On a subject of far larger scipe and compexity than the earlier book it shows to even greater effect the author's powers of narrative, character study and lucid analysis. As can be seen from the back of this jacket, it has frawn high praise from two of our most eminent military historians. Contents: Author's preface. Author's Note. The Tragic Delusion. Sailor With a Flawed Cutlass. Travail, Famille, Patrie. Full Circle. Appendix: organisation of Armies in 1914. Bibliography. Acknowledgements. Index.
