War is too important to be left to the generals' snapped future French prime minister Georges Clemenceau on learning of yet another bloody & futile offensive on the Western Front One of the great questions in the ongoing discussions & debate about the First World War is why did winning take so long & exact so appalling a human cost? After all this was a fight that we were told would be over by Christmas Now in his major new history Allan Mallinson former professional soldier & author of the acclaimed 1914 Fight the Good Fight provides answers that are disturbing as well as controversial & have a contemporary resonance He disputes the growing consensus among historians that British generals were not to blame for the losses & setbacks in the war to end all wars'
- that given the magnitude of their task they did as well anyone could have He takes issue with the popular view that the amateur' opinions on strategy of politicians such as Lloyd George & especially Winston Churchill prolonged the war & increased the death toll On the contrary he argues even before the war began Churchill had a far more realistic intelligent & humane grasp of strategy than any of the admirals or generals while very few senior officers
- including Sir Douglas Haig
- were up to the intellectual challenge of waging war on this scale & he repudiates the received notion that Churchill's stature as a wartime prime minister after 1940 owes much to the lessons he learned from his First World War mistakes'
- notably the Dardanelles campaign
- maintaining that in fact Churchill's achievement in the Second World War owes much to the thwarting of his better strategic judgement by the professionals' in the First
- & his determination that this would not be repeated Mallinson argues that from day one of the war Britain was wrong-footed by absurdly faulty French military doctrine & paid as a result an unnecessarily high price in casualties He shows that Lloyd George understood only too well the catastrophically dysfunctional condition of military policy-making & struggled against the weight of military opposition to fix it & he asserts that both the British & the French failed to appreciate what the Americans' contribution to victory could be
- & after the war to acknowledge fully what it had actually been
