(Cassell May 1, 2007)
Despite being the most capable cavalry leader of his generation, Sir John French has always aroused controversy. Posterity has judged him an unfeeling butcher, responsible for more deaths in the first two hours of the battle of Loos than all the casualties on both sides in the 1944 D-Day landings. But French has another side, revealed in his private papersa side filled with affairs and personal torment. An esteemed Professor of Military and Security Studies tells Frenchs compelling, dramatic story.
