In HAIG'S COMMAND, Denis Winter launches the most devastating attack on official versions of the conduct of the Great War. 'He does so on the basis of fresh evidence ... By using Australian and Canadian archives, together with a very thorough trawl through the private papers now accessible, Mr Winter has been able to fill many gaps ... It is not too much to say that his work is as important to our interpretation of the First World War as the unveiling of the Ultra secret was for the second'. Professor Sir Michael Howard in the LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS

Synopsis:
Denis Winter sets out to expose and analyze a major historical fraud. His theme is the Western Front in Haig's time - from the Somme to the Armistice - and he has uncovered evidence that the documents from which previous histories have been written are tampered-with and often entirely rewritten versions of the truth. For example, a daily war diary was kept by all units up to GHQ and these were often altered by the cabinet office and crucial appendices totally removed; cabinet war minutes were likewise rewritten, With reference to whole meetings often removed. Records such as Haig's own diary were also tampered with, and Denis Winter even claims to have found documents which the war's official historian thought he had deliberately destroyed in the 1940s. Denis Winter's material includes minutes of "missing" cabinet meetings, and other material.
