The General held the appointment of Director of Military
Operations during the early years of the war, and was indeed
in the saddle at the beginning of the operations in 1914. In
this volume he shows us behind the scenes and enables us to see
clearly much that was obscure. His book reveals to us in an
intimate way the personality of Lord Kitchener and many others,
and introduces us to the War Cabinet.
"A vivacious picture of life behind the scenes of the great drama
... told keenly and poignantly, with a biting humour ... and with
a frankness of disclosure."--_The Times._
"Sir Charles Callwell is one of the soundest military critics in

CHARLES CALLWELL, K.C.B.

"Mr. Blease has done his work uncommonly well. The book is
well arranged and well written.... Sir E. Callwell in his
preface pronounces Suvorof to have been, next to Frederick the
Great, unquestionably the greatest soldier of the last half
of the eighteenth century.... We hold that Sir E. Callwell is
undoubtedly right. He was a very great soldier and a great
man."--_Times Literary Supplement._

Swiss reader."--_Spectator._
