Summary: A very broad overview of a complex subject ... a primer.
Comment: Typical Osprey book. Attempting to present the WWI British Army in the short format of an Osprey book means that the presentation will be broad and general. I was looking for specific information on the London Scottish regiment, and, by pure luck, this volume had the information I was seeking. Its strengths, as expected, were equipment and representative uniforms. Its self-admitted weakness was its orders of battle for the Western Front, Italy, and the Middle East ... they were a representative sampler, not any real appreciation of the OB's over any period of time ... the space could have been put to better use on another topic. I was particulaly frustrated by the lack of explantion of the British battalion numbering system. All in all, it is a solid volume for uniform research, a first volume for interest in the WWI British Army, and a weak volume for any reader expecting depth.
