This book's contribution to the discussion on the origin's of the
First World War is a pioneering study of both the British General
Staff and the evolution of military strategy in the period
immediately prior to the war. It describes the development of the
General Staff, Britain's agency for strategic planning, and goes on
to give an account of its role in devising strategy. Problems are
examined as they arose at grass-roots level in the War Office and
progressed upward towards the Cabinet. The complex cross-currents
involving the Admiralty, Foreign Office, Treasury and individuals
from Edward VII downwards are charted. The account covers British
military policy up to 1916, interpreting the Gallipoli campaign and
explanation for its failure.
