Blog number 320 **** 21 July 2009
I'm reading this book about WW l called, "The Somme" by Peter Hart and he tells of a dispute between British authorities on how best to beat Germany.
General Haig wants to beat Germany itself, British politicians think it better to beat Germany's allies first and then Germany will fall.
Whenever these politicians visit Gen. Haig's Headquarters, he has to listen to what he terms their nonsense. Gen. Haig said of their arguments, "That is like a boxer leaving the ring to beat up his opponent's seconds."
