The Battles of the British Expeditionary Forces, 1914-1915 Reviews

[A] masterly work . . . The index to this book is one of the most useful and comprehensive that I have ever seen and is almost a research tool in it's own right. A wonderful book. * The Bulletin of the Military Historical Society *
[A]ny serious scholar commencing a study of British or Canadian experiences on the Western Front in 1914-1915 will find this volume to be a gold mine of useful and often obscure forces. * The Journal of Military History *
According to Hartesveldt, the British Expeditionary Force played a significant role in the first eighteen months of World War I. . . . [H]e provides a historiographical essay describing the major debates of historians about the B.E.F. during this period and highlighting references to the more important scholarly contribution to the debate. He then presents an annotated bibliography, presented in standard format, intended to cover all significant studies on the B.E.F. during the opening months of the war. * Reference & Research Book News *
