This is the first book to deal with the role of British corps command on the Western Front in the Great War. It is also a significant contribution to the debate on the BEF's learning curve from 1916 to 1918. Taking a chronological approach, it analyses how corps' role changed as the war went on, beginning simply as a post-box for relaying orders from above to the divisions below.
In attempting to answer the question, who ran the War and how? Directing Operations is essential reading for any student of the British army in the Great War.

Andy Simpson has produced two previous books on popular treatments of the Western Front experience and generalship as well as contributing articles and chapters to edited volumes. This is his first book based entirely on primary sources and the first book on corps command and as such, by far his most original.
