Remembered Today:

Official but not history?


PhilB

Recommended Posts

In the bibliography of Reconsidering Gallipoli (Jenny Macleod) reference is made to "Official but not history? Sir James Edmonds and the official history of the Great War" by David French, Journal of the RUSI for Defence Studies, March 1986. Has anyone read this piece? Care to comment? Phil B

Phil,

‘Reconsidering Gallipoli’ by Jenny Macleod is on my list for further thought prior to purchase; Can you recommend it?

Any comments welcomed

Regards

Michael D.R.

Andrew Green's book on Writing the Official History makes reference to this and covers some of the same area - but from a different viewpoint.

Michael:- It`s interesting, but read rather like a university thesis. Why not borrow it from the library? 50p reservation fee? Phil B

Phil,

Many thanks for all your trouble

On reading the contents I am inclined to go with your earlier suggestion;

'why not borrow'

Thanks again

Michael D.R.
