Manage episode 321647696 series 2981562
When Field Marshall Douglas Haig died in 1928, many thousands came out to mourn the death of a great hero of the First World War. Yet today, the overwhelming view of the general is one of a mass murderer: A donkey who led millions of lions to their pointless deaths in the trenches for mere feet of land. To discuss Haig’s life and controversies Steven Edginton is joined by the military historian Nick Lloyd.
