British Generalship during the Great War

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Lord Horne, a lesser-known general of the First World War, this book challenges the prevailing narrative of incompetent military leadership during the conflict. It highlights Horne's innovative tactics and the evolution of military strategy in response to trench warfare. By examining the failures of 1915-16 and the successes of 1917-18, the study re-evaluates the contributions of British generals and their role in the transformation of warfare, reflecting on the significant changes that shaped modern military practices.
