Command on the Western Front

The book examines the way in which General Rawlinson's skills and plans were affected by events throughout the Great War. The book shows that General Rawlinson's plans at each stage of the war were affected not only by the results of his previous plans, but also by the ideas of the men around him, in particular his senior General Haig.
