Millman (modern history, Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada) writes that his study is an attempt to fill what he saw as an enormous gap in understanding of the First World War a description of Britain's grand strategy in the war's last years, as well as that strategy's implications. Millman argues that pessimism, even defeatism, was a strong influence in this period, and that England aimed not so much to win the war outright as to bring Germany to the conference table with less of an advantage. The policy was also geared toward laying the groundwork for a peripheral war against Germany, either immediately or in a second war that many assumed would quickly follow a German victory.
