A look at the Western front in 1915, the major battles; Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge and Loos to the dismissal of Sir John French. Tedious at times but poignant at others, focusing on battles that are hardly known anymore and the sloppiness of decisions that lead to the high rate of casualties. ( ) 1009 The Donkeys, by Alan Clark (read 25 May 1969) I did not find this book as good as the great books on World War One I had read in the past: The Price of Glory, by Alistair Horne; In Flanders Fields, by Leon Wolff; The Guns of August, by Barbara Tuchman; 1918: The Last Act, by Barrie Pitt; and others. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Ha l'adattamento
"On 26 September 1915 twelve British battalions - a strength of almost 10,000 men - were ordered to attack German positions at Loos in north-east France. In the three-and-a-half hours of the actual battle, they sustained 8,246 casualties. The Germans suffered no casualties at all. i>The Donkeys is a study of the Western Front on 1915, a brilliant expose of a key stage of the Great War, when the opposing armies were locked in trench warfare. Alan Clark scrutinizes the major battles of the year. He casts a steady and revealing light on those in High Command - French, Rawlinson, Watson and Haig among them- whose orders resulted in the virtual destruction of the odd professional British Army."
