Haig’s strategic choice of a massive frontal attack was in furtherance of his notion of a “Big Push” that would break the trench war stalemate.

That did not happen‚ and because Haig had no effective intelligence capability‚ the first to learn that truth were attacking troops who died by the thousands on
