Show Notes

Despite years of scholarship to the contrary, the popular perception pervades that all of the Generals of the First World War were incompetent bunglers. As ever it is more complex than that. Gary Sheffield, Field Marshal Haig's biographer, joins us to address some of your questions on the British Army's supreme commander and to bring some balance to often ingrained but largely outdated opinions.
