The donkeys/ 
Alan Clark 
 - London:  Pimlico,  1991 
 - 216 pages;  illustrations;  21 cm. 
<br/><br/> A study of the Western Front in 1915, this book is a stinging indictment of incompetent generalship. The author explores the truth of the observation that British troops were "lions led by donkeys" and shows how appalling losses almost completely destroyed the old professional army.
