520    $a In this biography, General Haig is shown fairly "in the round", which goes beyond his generalship on the battlefield to include activities in training and logistics, writing doctrine, and dealing with allies and politicians. This reassessment of Britain's most controversial general does not spare his mistakes and bloody consequences, but also discusses the crucial role he played in leading the British army to victory in the First World War, his effectiveness as Commander-in-chief, and the influence he wielded as a leader of ex-servicemen to help secure peace.
