London: Allen & Unwin, 1987. First published statement. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling.. 309 p. Illustrations. Maps. Abbreviations. Notes. Select Bibliography. Index. From an on-line posting: "Dr. Tim Travers did his History degree at Yale University (United States) and is emeritus professor of History at the University of Calgary in Canada (he retired in 2004). He has written widely on British military history, and is an expert on the topics of command and the impact of technology on warfare. His book The Killing Ground was a seminal development in the study of Haig because he placed Haig in his historical context, and did not judge him with the benefit or the prejudices of hindsight."
