Though the medium of wireless communication was in relative infancy
during World War I, the technology could have made a profound
impact on tactical operations and on the entire strategic conduct
of the war. Providing details on how and why the technology did not
fulfill its promise as a great military tool until years later, the
book points primarily to the British Army's institutional bias
against wireless communication as the technology's downfall,
reinforced by the crude, unreliable wireless sets with which the
army began the war. It also demonstrates how improved wireless
communications between infantry, command, artillery and air
observation could have improved the flexibility, accuracy and
effectiveness of the British military strategy in the German Spring
Offensive, the Hundred Days Counteroffensive and the battles of the
Somme, Passchendaele, and Cambrai.
