This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the greatest narrative writers in English history. Most famous for his Sherlock Holmes stories, he was incapable of penning a dull word. Nowhere is that more true than in his 'History of the Great War', now re-published as a series of e-books, with an introduction by the leading historian of the First World War, Nigel Jones. The first volume of his magisterial history of the war deals with the events of 1914, and covers the British war effort in Belgium and France. Doyle had a personal stake in the war - as well as being deeply patriotic. His son Kingsley and his brother Innes both served in the Army, and his brother-in-law Malcolm Leckie disappeared early in the war, and was later confirmed killed. When the war broke out, Doyle wrote to the War Office offering his services in any capacity. He found it in Wellington House, writing anti-German propaganda. He swiftly churned out two penny pamphlets 'To Arms!' and 'The German War' which blamed the 'barbarian Huns' for engineering the war and urged all civilised people to support the Allied cause. He moved on to research and publish his full length histories, detailing the battles and campaigns of the Great War. He built up his narrative from letters, diaries, and 'interviews from the hand or lips of men who have been soldiers in our armies, the deeds of which it was my ambition to understand and to chronicle'. As well as interviewing ordinary soldiers, Doyle managed to get Haig and fourteen other generals to give him access to their diaries and papers, allowing him to create a full and informed overview of the Great War. Doyle remained sturdily patriotic throughout the war despite experiencing personal tragedies and yet his narrative could not remain untouched by the horrors of what he described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Campaign in France and Flanders: January to July 1918 This fifth volume deals with one of the most tremendous episodes in history, when the vigour of the German attack and the desperate resistance of the British both on the Somme and in Flanders, held an awestruck world in suspense. A million men released from the Russian front, rolled across Europe and, swelling that great tide which was already banked up before the British breakwater, it washed over all the front line barriers and threatened at one time to sweep down to the sea. The account of how the British Army, upon which incomparably the greater pressure fell, rose to the occasion and first slowed and then held the terrific flood is one of the most wonderful Of military epics. At the same time every credit must be given to the loyalty of the French commanders who, while guarding their own extended lines, endeavoured to spare all possible help to their hard-pressed Allies. This volume carries the story of the German attack to its close. The next and final one will describe the enormous counter-attack of the Allies leading up to their final victory.
