- Title
Response to Dr Brian N. Hall’s Articles on British Wireless in the First World War.
- Authors
Bullock, Mike; Lyons, Laurence A.
- Abstract
Articles by Dr Brian Hall in War in History and the Journal of Military History cavalierly dismiss the book Missed Signals on the Western Front: How the Slow Adoption of Wireless Restricted British Strategy and Operations in World War I. This rebuttal questions his understanding of continuous wave technology and points out that, in contrast to the British effort, the Americans provided their forces with modern wireless communications. Hall chose to dismiss rather than engage with the book’s disagreement with his assertion that the British army was remarkably successful at recognizing the utility of wireless and exploiting its full military potential.
