The Life and Times of the Master Strategist of World War I: Field-Marshal Sir William Robertson.
Include Illustrations, Appendices, Notes, Bibliography and Index.
The only British soldier ever to rise from the rank of private to field-marshal, 'Wully' Robertson, as Chief of the British Imperial General Staff, hammered out the plans that led to Allied victory in World War I. In a major biography, the English historian Victor Bonham-Carter combines the very human story of this great soldier with a searching analysis of the strategy of the First World War. Son of a Lincolnshire village post-master, Robertson joined the army in 1877, and ten years later had risen as high as he could go as an N.C.O.
