Description
Douglas Haig's Diaries offer a unique insight into the life and thoughts of one of the most controversial British generals of the 20th century. The diaries, previously published in edited form, provide a candid view of Haig's experiences as commander of the British Army during World War I. Haig's personal account of the war is detailed and revealing, offering a day-by-day record of key battles, including the Somme campaign of 1916. The diaries also reveal his complex relationships with politicians, including Prime Minister David Lloyd George and King George V, as well as his criticisms of those in power. For those interested in military history or the experiences of British soldiers during World War I, Haig's Diaries provide a valuable and thought-provoking read.
