General

The book John Kelly reads every time he gets a promotion to remind him of ‘the perils of hubris, the pitfalls of patriotism and duty unaccompanied by critical thinking’ The most vivid, moving – and devastating – word-portrait of a World War One British commander ever written, here re-introduced by Max Hastings.

Cartea pe care o citeste John Kelly de fiecare data cand primeste o promovare pentru a-i aminti de ,,pericolele orgoliului, capcanele patriotismului si datoriei neinsotite de gandire critica" Cel mai viu, emotionant - si devastator - portret-cuvant al unui britanic din Primul Razboi Mondial comandant scris vreodata, aici reintrodus de Max Hastings.
