Douglas Haig: From the Somme to Victory

This book was presented to the Collection by Mr. Roger Billins. The price quoted is our estimate of its value. Sheffield was, and remains, one of the strongest opponents of the "Lions Led by Donkeys" movement. Modern historians are much more supportive of what Haig achieved, and in our view, rightly so. This book only came into the Collection in 2026, which appears to be a rather surprising omission on our part. We already had a considerable number of books on Haig, several authored by Sheffield, but not this one. As this is the book in which Sheffield underlines the much needed re-assessment of Haig's reputation, that was an omission on our part. But this has now been remedied.
