The British Army and the First World War provides a modern overview of the army’s transformation between 1914 and 1918. It follows the British Expeditionary Force from the opening campaigns through the creation of a mass citizen army, trench warfare, technological change and the offensives of the final year. Beckett and his co-authors examine command, manpower, training, morale and operations together, showing how a small professional force adapted to industrial war on a continental scale.
