Battle Tactics of the Western Front: The British Army`s Art of Attack, 1916-18

Mr. Paddy Griffith

In this book a renowned military historian studies the evolution of British infantry tactics during World War I and challenges traditional interpretations that portray British participation as a series of tragic tactical debacles. While Griffith concedes that the British army`s plans and technologies failed persistently during the improvised first half of the war, he reveals that the army gradually improved its techniques and technology and eventually demonstrated a battlefield skill and mobility that would rarely be surpassed even during World War II.

Battle Tactics of the Western Front: The British Army`s Art of Attack, 1916-18 is on the Canadian Army list.
