Description
A comparison of German and British infantry tactics, training and leadership techniques during World War I, this study undercuts some traditional views about the reasons for German successes and British failures during the Great War and points to how different value systems in the two countries affected their military prowess.
Reviews
An insightful volume that explains much about the tactical workings of the Western Front. While of greatest interest to the specialist of the period, the volume offers important insights to the professional officer, especially in the complex interworkings of doctrine and tactics. * Military Review *
