Review: British Butchers & Bunglers of World War One

User Review  - Valerie Sherman - Goodreads

Very sad to read, but, as always, I believe these are important things for us to remember. I knew from my studies of the Somme in college that Haig was a butcher, but I didn't know as much about how his butchery extended through pretty much the entire war. Ugh. Read full review
