Show Notes
The roles played by the generals during The Great War have been the source of much scrutiny by historians and the public for over one hundred years. Some were remembered with fondness and respect by the men who served under them; others were despised. Debates have often centred on whether or not the leadership of the generals was either incompetent or inspired. Military historians Peter Hart and Gary Bain discuss some of the myths surrounding the generals and offer their perspectives on the generals' performances.
