Title: Mud, Blood and Poppycock Author: Gordon Corrigan Narrator: Roger Davis Format: mp3 Length: 18 hrs and 1 min Release date: 12-26-19 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 10 ratings Genres: World War I Publisher's Summary: The popular view of the First World War remains that of Blackadder: incompetent generals sending brave soldiers to their deaths. Alan Clark quoted a German general's remark that the British soldiers were 'lions led by donkeys'. But he made it up. Indeed, many established 'facts' about 1914-18 turn out to be myths woven in the 1960s by young historians on the make. Gordon Corrigan's brilliant, witty history reveals how out of touch we have become with the soldiers of 1914-18. They simply would not recognise the way their generation is depicted on TV or in Pat Barker's novels.
