Seller’s description

Notes supplied by the seller about this specific item.

This book will overturn everything you thought you knew about the first world war. "Mud, Blood and Poppycock" re-examines the old myths of incompetence and unnecessary slaughter that have coloured the popular view of the First World War.

British casualty rates were high, but less than those of France and Germany, and there was no "lost generation".
