1-245830

A modern history of the 46th Division and their evolution in combat effectiveness, and reexamining historical interpretations of key figures and events. Draws upon a vast array of largely neglected sources from a variety of archives, and challenges some comfortable assumptions. Develops the view put forward in studies of the Canadian Corps, and reflected in modern biographies of leading commanders, that the British Army gradually developed the system of 'bite and hold.' Links WWI to its social, political, and economic context. Contains 30 black and white photos, eight color maps, and two tables.
