Strategy and Command

Overview
Falling between the \"War of Movement\" in 1914 and the major
attrition battles of 1916, 1915 was a critical year in the First
World War. As France failed in ever-larger offensives to break
through the German trenches, Britain shifted its strategy from
defence of empire to total commitment to the continental war. In
the second of three planned volumes, Roy Prete analyzes the
political and military policies and strategies of Britain and
France and their joint command relationship on the Western Front in
1915. The opposing strategies of the two governments proved to be
the main determinant in the sometimes ragged relations between the
French commander-in-chief, Joseph Joffre, and his British
counterpart, Sir John French, as they sought to drive the German
army out of France and to aid their hard-pressed Russian ally. With
an impressive marshalling of evidence, Strategy and
Command demonstrates that the increased British commitment to
the continental war, manifested in sending Kitchener's New Armies
to France in 1915, was largely due to the disastrous situation of
the Russian army on the Eastern Front and the perceived weakness of
the French government. Based on extensive research in French and
British political and military archives, this new in-depth study of
Anglo-French military relations on the Western Front in 1915 fills
a major gap in the unfolding drama of the First World War.
