Notes
This is an important study of Haig's Command in the second half of the war. It is based on extensive new research and poses the perennial question about the British Army and the Western Front during this period - "why did they think they were winning?" Beach explains how the British perceived the Germans through a study of the development of the Intelligence Service. He shows (for the first time) what the British knew about their opponent, when and how, and thus sheds significant light on continuing controversies about the British Army's conduct of operations in France and Belgium, and also the relationship between Haig and his Intelligence Chief, Charteris. This book is part of the Cambridge Military History Series, edited by Professor Sir Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War at the University of Oxford, and Professor Geoffrey Wawro, Professor of Military History and Director of the Military History Center, University of North Texas.
