White heat: the new warfare, 1914-18/ John Terraine - London: Leo Cooper, 1992 - 352 pages; illustrations: 24 cm.

White Heat is undoubtedly a valuable survey of the effect of some technological advances (or lack of them) on the course of the war. Of particular importance are those relating to the nature of battlefield communications and their effect on the degree of control that generals could exercise over the course of the battle.
