	Duff Cooper's Haig
		Duff Cooper was in no doubt that he was writing about a genuine hero, and he declared the story of Haig's life an 'epic drama', about which it was a privilege to write.
		Duff Cooper argues that the Battle of the Somme was 'the furnace wherein are forged the armies of victory', which honed and hardened the British Army into the fighting force which 'two years later formed the backbone of the force that smashed the Hindenburg line'.
		In justification, Duff Cooper echoes Haig's argument that the British had to be taught to accept the inevitable losses of a war of attrition on the Western Front.
