The biography delves into the life of Sir Herbert Plumer, a First World War general often dismissed due to his appearance yet recognized as one of the most effective commanders on the Allied side. Known for his thoughtfulness towards his soldiers, Plumer's strategic prowess shone during critical battles like Messines Ridge and the German offensive of 1918. Despite tensions with Haig, his contributions were vital to the war effort. Historian Geoffrey Powell offers a detailed account that re-evaluates Plumer's legacy and highlights his significance in military history.
