About the Book

Gary Sheffield is one of the most versatile and stimulating of military historians at work today. For 25 years, in a series of perceptive books and articles, he has examined the First World War from many angles - from the point of view of the politicians and the high command through to the junior officers and other ranks in the front line. Morale and Command presents in a single volume a range of his shorter work, and it shows his scholarship at its best. The range of his writing, the insights he offers and the sometimes controversial conclusions he reaches mean this thought-provoking book will be indispensable reading for all students of the First World War and of modern warfare in general.

About the Author :
Professor Gary Sheffield holds the Chair of War Studies at the University of Wolverhampton and he is a leading authority on the First World War. Previously he has held Chairs at the University of Birmingham and King's College London and was a lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He is President of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides, and a Vice-President of the Western Front Association. He has published widely, especially on the First World War, and contributes to many newspapers, journals and magazines, and frequently broadcasts on television and radio. Among his books are The Chief: Douglas Haig and the British Army, The War Studies Reader, Douglas Haig: War Diaries and Letters 1914-1918 (edited with John Bourne), The Somme, Forgotten Victory: The First World War - Myths and Realities and Command and Control on the Western Front: The British Army's Experience, 1914-19 (edited with Dan Todman).

Review :
"For well over two decades Prof. Sheffield (Wolverhampton) has been producing ground-breaking work on the Great War, sorting through the evidence to brush away the many myths which have come to dominate popular, and at time academic, perceptions of the conflict to give us a more accurate picture of that traumatizing event in modern Western history...a very useful contribution to the literature on the BEF."-- "The NYMAS Review"
