Although Freeman’s History of Sicily throws much light on the history of Carthage, the later centre of Phoenician life, it was no part of his plan to essay a narrative of the whole of her fortunes—a task which, on a scale befitting its importance, still remains unperformed.
28 The history of Phoenicia as a whole, however, was included in the vast field of the labours of George Rawlinson, brother of Sir Henry Rawlinson, whose memoir he wrote, and whose logical discoveries find mention in a later chapter.
During his occupation of his chair, George Rawlinson published a succession of histories designed to bring home to the public the general, as well as the particular, importance of recent discoveries and researches in the near east for the history of the ancient world.

 Command on the Western Front: The Military Career of Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1914-1918. by Bill Rawling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
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.

By examining Rawlinson's role in the War, the authors are able to follow the actual events of the battlefield and show how they related to the strategies of the High Command.
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.
