More about the book
The analysis focuses on the British Army's performance in both world wars, highlighting Sir Douglas Haig's failure to align operations with strategy during the First World War. In contrast, Montgomery's approach in the Second World War demonstrates a more effective execution of tactics. The author, drawing from his own combat experiences, illustrates the connection between high-level orders and their impact on smaller units, providing a nuanced understanding of military effectiveness across the two conflicts.
