Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Dennis Winter sets out to expose and analyze a major historical fraud. His theme is the Western Front in Haig's time - from the Somme to the Armistice - and he has uncovered evidence that the documents from which other histories have been written are tampered-with and often entirely rewritten versi…ons of the truth. For example - a daily war diary was kept by all units up to GHQ and these were often altered by the Cabinet Office and crucial appendices totally removed; cabinet war minutes were likewise rewritten, with reference to whole meetings often removed. Informal records such as Haig's own diary were also tampered with, and Denis Winter even claims to have found documents which the war's official historian thought he had deliberately destroyed in the 40s. Denis Winter's material includes minutes of "missing" Cabinet meetings, material removed from the war diaries, confidential reports written by military attaches and private material from archives in Canada, USA, Australia and the UK. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Zustand: very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. 25 cm, 362 pages, illus., maps, sticker residue on DJ, front DJ flap price clipped. Denis Winter was born in 1940, and read History at Cambridge University. He has written many books on various aspects of the First World War - many of them about Australia's p…art in the war. Most reviewers say these books are accurate and reliable. In 1980, Winter became a Research Fellow at the Australian National University . While working there, he explains, he realised that there were materials in the Australian and Canadian archives which were NOT in the British Public Record Office. Winter has also found differences between Haig's handwritten diary, and the official typed version. From this, he argues that the sources from which earlier histories have been written are tampered-with and often entirely rewritten versions of the truth - e.g., the daily war diaries kept by all army units were often altered by the cabinet office, cabinet war minutes were rewritten, and Winter even claims that the war's official historian deliberately destroyed documents. The author maintains that Haig's version of events, like that of the Official History, is largely falsified. Drawing on sources not hitherto available to historians, the author also gives interesting examples of French duplicity. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, (19 June 1861 - 29 January 1928) was a senior officer of the British Army. During the First World War he commanded theBritish Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front from late 1915 until the end of the war. He was commander during the Battle of the Somme, the battle with one of the highest casualties in British military history, the Third Battle of Ypres, and the Hundred Days Offensive, which led to the armistice of 11 November 1918. Although he had gained a favourable reputation during the immediate post-war years, with his funeral becoming a day of national mourning, Haig has since the 1960s become an object of criticism for his leadership during the First World War. He was nicknamed "Butcher Haig" for the two million British casualties endured under his command. The Canadian War Museum comments, "His epic but costly offensives at the Somme (1916) and Passchendaele (1917) have become nearly synonymous with the carnage and futility of First World War battles." Major-General Sir John Davidson, one of Haig's biographers, praised Haig's leadership, and since the 1980s some historians have argued that the public hatred in which Haig's name had come to be held failed to recognise the adoption of new tactics and technologies by forces under his command, the important role played by British forces in the Allied victory of 1918, and that high casualties were a consequence of the tactical and strategic realities of the time.
