Forgotten Victory
The First World War
Book • 2002
Forgotten Victory is a challenging and controversial book that seeks to correct the popular perception of the First World War as a futile and tragic waste.
Based on twenty years of research, it argues that Britain had strategic and moral reasons to engage in the war and that the British Army's achievements, particularly in 1918, were significant.
The book challenges myths such as the 'lions led by donkeys' narrative and presents a more nuanced understanding of the war's realities.
