The Old Contemptibles : the British Expeditionary Force, 1914

Neillands, Robin, 1935-2004
Books
In his robust re-examination of the onset of war, Robin Neillands reviews the exploits and character of the BEF, revealing how it came to be both the focus of British hopes and, in the tragedy of its defeat, the catalyst for a policy shift without which the war would surely have been lost.
