Learning, innovation and adaptation are not concepts that we
necessarily associate with the British army of the First World War.
Yet the need to learn from mistakes, to exploit new opportunities
and to adapt to complex situations are enduring and timeless. This
revealing work is the first institutional examination of the army's
process for learning during the First World War. Drawing on
organisational learning and management theories, Aimee Fox
critiques existing approaches to military learning in wartime.
Focused around a series of case studies, the book ranges across
multiple operational theatres and positions the army within a
broader context in terms of its relationships with allies and
civilians to reveal that learning was more complex and
thoroughgoing than initially thought. It grapples with the army's
failings and shortcomings, explores its successes and acknowledges
the inherent difficulties of learning in a desperate and lethally
competitive environment.
