The 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 John Kelly o citeste de fiecare data cand este promovat pentru a-si aminti de ,,pericolele arogantei, capcanele patriotismului si datoriei neinsotite de gandire critica". Cel mai viu, emotionant - si devastator - portret scris vreodata al unui comandant britanic din Primul Razboi Mondial, reintrodus aici de Max Hastings.
