Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. [1st ed., 1st printing] 260 p. illus. 22 cm. OCLC 2625440 LCCN 55018758 LC DA69.3.G68 A3 Dewey 923.542 ; red embossed cloth with gold lettering ; no dustjacket ; General Sir Hubert de la Poer Gough was a senior officer in the British Army in the First World War. A controversial figure, he was a favourite of the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, and the youngest of Haig's field army commanders.Gough was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before commissioning into the 16th Lancers in 1889. His early career included notable service in the Second Boer War, and a more controversial role in the Curragh incident, in which he was one of the leading officers who threatened to accept dismissal rather than deploy into Protestant Ulster. Gough experienced a meteoric rise during the First World War, from command of a cavalry brigade in August 1914, to division command at the First Battle of Ypres that autumn, to a corps at the Battle of Loos a year later. From mid-1916 he commanded the Reserve Army (later renamed the Fifth Army) during the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. His tenure was marked by controversy around his leadership style, his perceived reputation as "a thruster", and the efficiency of the organisation of his army, especially relative to the reputation for caution and efficiency of General Sir Herbert Plumer's Second Army. Fifth Army bore the initial brunt of the German spring offensive in March 1918, but Gough was scapegoated and relieved of his command. After the war, he briefly held a command in the Baltic until retirement in 1922, and stood unsuccessfully for Parliament. After a brief spell at farming, he made a new career for himself as a company director. Gough gradually re-emerged as an influential figure in military circles and public life, writing two volumes of memoirs. He was a senior commander in the London Home Guard in the Second World War ; copy of dward William Girard (1930-2020), with his bookstamp, a Boeing engineer and Rockwell Missile Systems Division operational analysis manager that served in the Navy during the Korean War. He was instrumental in proposing national re-emphasis on maritime strategy in the wake of the Israeli Six-Day War in 1967 and earlier, in 1961, the use of war games to function as pseudo-experiments, producing data for analysis ; Boots Bookstores Library label on front cover ; VG.

"The English nation as a whole has at present no adequate conception of the part God can play in this war." - from the Introduction, page 9. "The life and training of a soldier are both designed to make him an efficient instrument in war. The declaration of war is the work of the rulers of a state. The soldier's task is to be prepared for war at any time, with the twofold object in view, first, of ensuring peace where possible; secondly, of winning the war if war is inevitable." - page 15."If he is a clean fighter your take him prisoner, and rightly so. But the type of Fritz for whom you have no mercy is the Fritz who fires at you, killing your chums all the time, and when you get up to him, like the coward he is, howls 'Mercy, kamerad!' 'No bon that game!' 'Mercy' is out of place when dealing with him. You know it and act accordingly. 'Carry on, Thomas Atkins.' You've got your faults and some of them are bad one, but your Mother Country has taught you one thing which, in the heat of battle, when men act on instinct, and not on forethought, shows itself as plain as gold. That quality is British justice and British mercy, which is exactly what our Lord meant by the phrase 'Love your enemies,'" - pages 24-25. "The true meaning of the defeat of the Spanish Armada is that God found a more congenial home in the reformed England of the sixteenth century than He did in the corrupt and decadent empire of Spain." - page 32. "In conclusion, I beg leave to give one illustration of how this faith in God can so inspire a soldier in battle so that his hown life and his own safety county in his eyes as things of no value in comparison with the cause he is defending." - page 51. ; Signed by Author.
