Prima edizione di questa opera che, come si legge nella prefazione, is not a comprehensive criticism of "The world crisis", Volume III, but is merely a collection of criticism written by experts each responsible only for his own contributions, but each leaving particular knwoledge of the subject with which he deals.Vi sono contenuti i seguenti contributi: Mr. Churchill as Historian" (Lord Sydenham of Combe) // "The German Losses on the Somme. July-December, 1916 (Sir Charles Oman) // "Mr. Churchill's Opinions: Some Other Points of View" (Major-General Sir W. D. Bird) // "Joffre, Gallini and the Marne" (Major-General Sir F. Maurice) // "Mr. Churchill and Jutland" (Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon).Cfr. Zoller, Annotated bibliography of works about Churchill; Five experts on various aspects of World War I criticize Churchill's Volume III (191618) of the World Crisis; they also consider the Dardanelles campaign in Volume II (1915). An important critical work, sufficiently powerful that Churchill replied to it in part in his 1931 single-volume edition of the "The World Crisis".Sottolineature a biro soltanto alla prima pag. di prefazione; occhietto e verso dell'ultima pagina d'indice ingialliti, peraltro esempl. ben conservato..‎
