Timewatch Haig - the Unknown Soldier

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A special edition of the historical documentary series.

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig has been lampooned as the worst type of British officer for his command of the army in the First World War. But did he, as accused, send thousands of British to a futile death? On the 80th anniversary of the battle of the Somme, Timewatch explores a newly emerging historical debate.
