A Front-Row Seat to the Strategy of the Western FrontFrom the beginning of the First World War, John Charteris was Sir Douglas Haig's Intelligence officer. His duties ranged from predicting German intentions to dealing with visiting VIPs to meeting with journalists - making him a vital part of Haig's strategic planning on the Western Front.In this new edition of the 1931 classic memoir, Charteris provides one of the most personal accounts of British command on the Western Front. Witty, funny, insightful, heartbreaking, and chilling, this is a close look at a war in which success was measured less by the capture of ground than by the taking of enemy lives.
