Bernard_Lewis Posted 11 May , 2015 Share Posted 11 May , 2015 This book is by prolific author Phil Carradice. I've not read it but would advise Pals who might be thinking of buying it that it receives a poor review in 'Morgannwg - the Journal of Glamorgan History'. The academic reviewer (who has researched a roll of honour in his local chapel and lectures on history) highlights several errors of fact and contradictions in the work. He advises those who wish to know how the war impacted on Cardiff and the Vale to 'look elsewhere'. So disappointing but caveat emptor, chums. I'll provide a separate review of 'Cardiff and the Valleys in the Great War' (by Gary Dobbs) later this evening. I have read that one.

mtaylor Posted 29 June , 2015 Share Posted 29 June , 2015 I've just got this one and a first pass confirms it to be very disappointing and superficial, I am prepared to change that fist impression on further detailed reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard_Lewis Posted 29 June , 2015 Author Share Posted 29 June , 2015 Mr Carradice is talking to my local U3A group on Wednesday. Subject: I think it's the battle of Coronel, 1914. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
