This is the first in-depth comparison of German and British
infantry tactics, training, and leadership techniques during World
War I. Samuels' study undercuts some traditional views about the
reasons for German successes and British failures during the Great
War and points to how different value systems in the two countries
affected their military prowess. This historical study of the
doctrines underlying the British and German strategies and their
implementation is intended for students of military history and
contemporary military strategy. This history first analyzes the
development of German infantry tactics and the role of the Storm
Battalions and then examines the British attempt to adopt the
German defensive systems and points to reasons for flaws in the
British doing so. In comparing and contrasting the British and
German armies, Samuels outlines the key concepts on which the
German defensive system was based and analyzes how forces were
trained and leadership was decentralized to produce a dynamic and
flexible system. British efforts to adopt the key concepts failed
because leadership was centralized and poor training contributed
also to combat ineffectiveness.
