Based on previously classified archives, this fascinating if controversial study examines why and how Haig and the government conspired to pervert the history of the Western Front in World War I. Section by section Winter decries the version presented by the Official Histories , comparing it to the uncensored versions of Dominion records. Ten years in the making, this may in the future be judged a tuning point in our understanding of the Western Front.
