Download or read book Godley written by TERRY KINLOCH and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive biography of General Sir Alexander Godley, presenting for the first time a fair and balanced look at his time as commander of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) and II ANZAC Corps during World War I. While Godley is generally remembered as being a poor field commander, Terry Kinloch argues that he was in fact a capable one who had little or no ability to influence the failed battles at Gallipoli and Passchendaele that he is often seen as responsible for. Kinloch also presents, for the first time, a detailed account of Godley’s long pre- and post-World War I career in the British Army. After the war Godley returned to the British Army, eventually reaching the rank of general before retiring in 1933. During his 48-year military career, he also served on operations in Rhodesia and South Africa, as a mounted infantry instructor, in the post-war British occupation force in Germany, and as the Governor of Gibraltar.

Book Synopsis Plumer & Messines by : Charles Harrington
Download or read book Plumer & Messines written by Charles Harrington and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Messines, 1917 as witnessed by a British staff officer The principal author of this book, Charles Harington wrote two books of note. One was an autobiography of his long and distinguished military career, titled, 'Tim Harington Looks Back' and the other was, 'Plumer of Messines' which was, of course a biography of General Herbert Plumer since Harington had served under Plumer as his Chief of Staff. This Leonaur edition includes Harington's edited writings (from both books) on the subject of the First World War based upon his intimate knowledge of Plumer and his activities, especially concerning his most renowned engagement, so is essential reading for any student of the period. As most readers are aware this battle was notably preluded by the explosion of nineteen enormous charges beneath German forward positions which instantly killed approximately 10,000 soldiers and, taken together, represented the largest non-nuclear explosion of all time. To provide an overview of the Battle of Messines (7-14 June,1917) in its wider context and its immediate consequences, this book also contains John Buchan's excellent assessment of the Third Battle of Ypres (also known as Passchendaele) which raged from July to November,1917. This section of the text includes many useful maps, diagrams and photographs.

Book Synopsis Breakthrough! by : Hubert C. Johnson
Download or read book Breakthrough! written by Hubert C. Johnson and published by Presidio Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trench-warfare stalemate of World War I was the virtually inevitable result of new technology and the cultural mindset of the times. The machine gun had made the battlefield unhabitable in the fifty years since the Civil War: it mowed down soldiers at an inconceivable rate. But the elaboration of defensive entrenchments early in World War I changed all that. An uneasy standoff ensued, an impasse that could not be broken though commanders on both sides sacrificed thousands of men in the attempt. Why could they not see that their efforts were doomed? It is possibly the greatest tragedy of this century that literally hundreds of thousands of men were slaughtered in pointless charges against impregnable machine-gun emplacements. The problem, as Professor Johnson clearly demonstrates, was that senior commanders on both sides simply could not imagine any alternative to the frontal assault. They called it l'offensif a l'outrance, the doctrine of offense at all costs, and they sent men to their deaths like savages sacrificing to the gods of tactical theory. It took a new breed of warrior, the adventurous captains and majors who championed technological innovations like tanks and airplanes, to break through the impasse. The author examines each of the major combatants in the Great War and shows how their cultural institutions perpetuated the grim mentality of attrition. Not by accident, the entry of the United States into the fray coincided with the resumption of the tactics of maneuver that finally led to the Allied victory.
