| Description: |
This is an innovative study of the development of historical writing about the most controversial aspects of the First World War, such as Haig's generalship, the role of T. E. Lawrence in the Arab Revolt, and the failure of the Dardanelles campaign. Making full use of contemporary sources and the most recent research, the contributors demonstrate how our understanding and image of the War have been shaped by historical accounts. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first systematic scholarly study of the historiography of the First World War. The First World War remains controversial in its conduct and broader implications, and this volume explores many issues which continue to cause debate, such as Haig's generalship, the role of T.E. Lawrence in the Arab Revolt, and the failure of the Dardanelles campaign. It also examines the new approaches to the war stimulated by the fiftieth anniversaries in the 1960s, and follows them through to contemporary concern with the experiences of ordinary soldiers and their chroniclers. The contributors are leading historians of the First World War. They draw their material from a wide range of contemporary sources and subsequent accounts, and make full use of recent research. They provide new insights into the age-old problems of war and attitudes to warfare. Their purpose is to demonstrate how our understanding of war and our image of the First World War have been shaped by the historical writing of the twentieth century. |
