PALAZZO : Seeking victory on the western front (ajánló)
"A major contribution to the goal of rescuing the reputation of the army from the 'donkeys' school of historiography. Palazzo's examination
of the way in which the army incorporated gas into its armory underlines the conclusions of Tim Travers, Trevor Wilson, Robin Prior, and Paddy Griffith, that
despite the obvious shortcomings of some prominent individuals, the BEF [British Expeditionary Force] was remarkably successful at recognizing the utility of new
technologies and exploiting their military potential. . . . The author has examined a wide range of primary and secondary sources in Britain, Canada, and Australia
and they are carefully set down in his copious notes. . . . It is squarely aimed at scholars interested in the war on the Western Front, but it deserves to be read
more widely."
—The Journal of Military History
"Palazzo's study is convincing in demonstrating that the British military command was not, contrary to the common belief, unwilling to adapt
innovations in technology for use on the battlefield."
—Virginia Quarterly Review
