Throughout history, boys of many nations have found themselves involved in battles of the armed forces, and it is to their credit that they have come through these ordeals with courage and endurance.

A forceful and probing analysis of the British generals' leadership in the First World War. For too long, Dr. John Laffin maintains, the military reputation has not been critically enough examined, and he asks how those responsible for such catastrophic defeats were able to retain their commands. Haig, whose army suffered 60, 000 casualtie on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, was still in command after five months more fighting and another 400,000 casualties. By the war's end the numbers of dead ran into millions - doggedly brave British Empire soldiers who. Dr. Laffin believes, were killed, wounded or broken by commanders who were vain, egocentic or incompetent. But the generals, who blamed the dead and junior in rank,…
