MaureenE Posted 16 October , 2015 Author Share Posted 16 October , 2015 There is also a transcription of this book on the website “The World War I Document Archive” http://www.gwpda.org l inked from the section “Primary Resources”, letter B http://www.gwpda.org/commhome.html grberridge.diplomacy.edu/theorypractice/chapter15/ The Preface by Hugh Walpole says “This is a fine graphic contribution to history---one of the most honest and vivid that we have had” However, I am unaware of both the selection policy of the World War I Document Archive, and what weight may be placed on Hugh Walpole’s statement. The book is mentioned in an article/webpage by G R Berridge , Emeritus Professor of International Politics, University of Leceister as “his absorbing memoirs (see Further reading below]” which sounds a positive recommendation.s http://grberridge.diplomacy.edu/theorypractice/chapter15/ Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
