W. Don’s Reviews > The Myth of the Great War: A New Military History of World War I > Status Update

Interesting take on WWI. The author takes to task the traditional conclusions reached by many historians, and points to systemic and chronic weaknesses in leadership in the French and British military brass. He makes the case that allied assumptions (convictions, really) about the relative rates of casualties between themselves and the Central Powers were consistently wrong, and led to poor decisions and planning.
