Fight to the Finish by Allan Mallinson
Looking at the First World War month by month reveals its complexity while preserving a sense of time. The month is a more digestible gauge. Based on the Allan Mallinsons monthly commentaries in The Times throughout the centenary, Fight to the Finish is a new and original portrait of The War to End War.Notable for its clarity, and anyone requiring a digestible narrative summary of the fighting . . . would be advised to start here. * SPECTATOR *
A wonderful series
There is no finer military historian
I could not believe that [there was] anything new to say . . . but how wrong I was!
A professional solder for thirty-five years, Allan Mallinson began writing while still serving.
His first book was a history of four regiments of British light dragoons, one of which he commanded. His debut novel was the bestselling A Close Run Thing, the first in an acclaimed series chronicling the life of a fictitious cavalry officer before and after Waterloo (The Tigress of Mysore is the fourteenth in the series). His The Making of the British Army was shortlisted for a number of prizes, while 1914: Fight the Good Fight won the British Army’s ‘Book of the Year’ Award. Its sequel, Too Important for the Generals, is a provocative look at leadership during the Great War, while Fight to the Finish is a comprehensive history of the First World War, month by month.
Allan Mallinson reviews for the Spectator and the TLS and also writes for The Times. He lives on Salisbury Plain.
