“THE FIRST WORLD WAR was a tragic and unnecessary conflict.”
Sir John Desmond Patrick Keegan was a British military historian, lecturer, writer and journalist. He was the author of many published works on the nature of combat between the 14th and 21st centuries concerning land, air, maritime, and intelligence warfare, as well as the psychology of battle. - Wikipedia
