		For example, Rawlinson had surmised the proper application of artillery in a limited, `bite and hold' assault at Neuve Chapelle and while on the Somme, but later refused to coordinate the activities of his divisional commanders, as the new techniques required.
		It was not until the offensives of the summer and fall of 1918 that he matured as a battle-manager; but as the authors point out, this was more the result of the diminished role of the army commander than of any profound intellectual development on the general's part.
		In studying Sir Henry Rawlinson in his full context, Prior and Wilson state that their main goal is to broaden our knowledge of what happens at that level of command situated between the highest councils of war and the muddy trenches at the front.

		Rawlinson kept a diary in which he recorded his views on tactics and the day-to-day events of the conflict.
		Rather, it uses Rawlinson as a lens through which to study the tactics of the time - tactics that usually proved woefully inadequate in dealing with the defensive positions that characterized industrial warfare.
