A former Royal Marine who served in Cyprus and the Middle East, he later became a prolific author, publishing under multiple pen names.

Quotes by Robin Neillands (?)

“In Britain, and in many parts of her former Empire, the blame for the death toll is generally laid on the incompetence and callousness of the Great War generals, especially the British generals. In France, they blame their politicians; in Germany, historians blame the Kaiser.”
― Robin Neillands, Attrition: The Great War on the Western Front 鈥� 1916

“The British generals have been widely castigated for their actions in this war and their prodigality with lives; it is hard to find evidence that the French or German generals were any better.”
― Robin Neillands, Attrition: The Great War on the Western Front 鈥� 1916

“What Joffre wanted on the Somme was not a tactical battle. As he saw it, the attempt at a breakthrough had failed and now, as so often before, the task of breaking the enemy line would get even harder. Therefore, since it was probably impossible to break through the enemy line, the next best thing was to attack all along the line, and engage the enemy in a battle that would force him to remove divisions from the Verdun front”
― Robin Neillands, Attrition: The Great War on the Western Front 鈥� 1916
