Reviews

The best and fairest biography of Haig that I have read.
*Daily Telegraph*

A subtle treatment of Haig's complex character... Mead's Haig is not a marble statue, nor a caricature butcher and bungler, but a man of very human strengths and weaknesses. The Good Soldier is the most successful attempt yet at disentangling the historical Douglas Haig from the twin excesses of Haigiography and donkeydom... Very readable.
*TLS*

Engrossing... Here at last comes some redress for perhaps the most maligned of the principal actors in that tragedy [of] the First World War.
