The Life and Diaries of Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson af Charles Edward Calwell
Bag om The Life and Diaries of Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson

The Biography and Diary of One of the British Empire's Most Accomplished - and Controversial - Generals Sir Henry Wilson (1864-1922) was a key figure in the preparation of the British Empire for the First World War. A Protestant Irishman who was as comfortable dealing with politicians as he was soldiers, he was a key figure in the creation of the British Expeditionary Force and its preparations to fight alongside the French in a European conflict. He was also mistrusted by his peers as being more politician than soldier, and the first Field-Marshal - and the last political leader - to be assassinated in Great Britain. Covering mid-1917 to his death in 1922, this second volume looks at Wilson's appointment as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the end of the Great War, the Irish War for Independence, the Treaty of Versailles and the choas that followed it.

The Biography and Diary of One of the British Empire's Most Accomplished - and Controversial - Generals
Sir Henry Wilson (1864-1922) was a key figure in the preparation of the British Empire for the First World War. A Protestant Irishman who was as comfortable dealing with politicians as he was soldiers, he was a key figure in the creation of the British Expeditionary Force and its preparations to fight alongside the French in a European conflict. He was also mistrusted by his peers as being more politician than soldier, and the first Field-Marshal - and the last political leader - to be assassinated in Great Britain.
Covering mid-1917 to his death in 1922, this second volume looks at Wilson's appointment as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the end of the Great War, the Irish War for Independence, the Treaty of Versailles and the choas that followed it.
