Hurrah!

Thank you Modette. Perhaps if they hear a voice from (and please excuse any perceived syncophancy) a qualified historian, they may, just may, start to listen to some reason.

At the moment I am reading "The Good Soldier" by Gary Mead. To say he is trying to paint a positive picture is probably correct. Without extracting long exerts from it, it is not possible to indicate just how favourable, at times, the book is to Haig.

I would recommend reading it to all concerned. I could go further and say that the book is biased. However I am only one third of the way through it and will reserve judgement.

I know with limited education it may be difficult for some people to see beyond what is written but it shouldn't stop you trying.
