Description

This Routledge book examines how the British Army adapted to fundamental changes in warfare during the First World War on the Western Front. It investigates the lasting effects of pre-war imperial duties on military leadership's readiness for large-scale continental conflict, analysing why early war performance suffered due to issues including weak staff coordination, professional shortcomings, careerism among senior commanders, and the challenges of rapidly mobilising vast numbers of troops and resources. The study traces the Army's evolution from initial setbacks toward eventual tactical and operational improvements, offering insights into how British generalship transformed across the four-year campaign. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand military strategy, command failures and successes, and the human factors that shaped one of history's most consequential conflicts.
