Sir Douglas Haig's Despatches, edited by J.H. Boraston and framed with John Terraine's sharp commentary, gathers the First World War field marshal's official reports into one illustrated hardback. The 1979 Dent volume pairs battlefield maps with Haig's unvarnished words, giving military historians a clear lens on British strategy and trench-era command.
This vintage copy arrives in good, collector-ready shape: a bright dust jacket protected by an archival cover, pages crisp and unmarked, binding square and tight. Only a discreet bookseller sticker on the front inner board and a faint edge mark betray its age; no smoke, no notes, no dog-ears.
Ideal for devotees of World War I history, biography, or true combat narratives, the book delivers primary-source insight without academic jargon. Its 371 pages sit cleanly in the hand, inviting evening reading or shelf display alongside other military classics.
