During the Allied victory celebrations there were few who chose to raise a glass to the staff. The high cost of casualties endured by the British army tarnished the reputation of the military planners, which has yet to recover. This book examines the work and development of the staff through letters and diaries of the British army during the First World War and its critical role in the military leadership team. The study throws new light upon the characteristics, careers and working lives of these officers, investigating the ways in which they both embraced and resisted change.
