Description

This scholarly work examines the military career of Sir Henry Horne (1861-1929), a First World War general whose leadership challenges conventional narratives of incompetent British commanders. The book demonstrates how generals like Horne developed innovative tactics and techniques to overcome the unprecedented challenges of trench warfare, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of British military performance during the conflict. By tracing Horne's career progression and strategic decisions, the author reveals why British forces struggled during 1915-16 before achieving remarkable successes in 1917-18. This Routledge publication contributes to growing academic reassessment of First World War leadership, moving beyond simplistic dismissals to explore how experienced commanders adapted to modern warfare's complexities. Essential reading for historians, military scholars and anyone seeking deeper insight into British generalship during the Great War.
