Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Includes The First World War On The Western Front 1914-1915 Illustrations Pack with 101 maps, plans, and photos. In 1919 renowned military writer Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice set out to piece together how the German Schlieffen plan fell apart in the opening phases of the First World War. Using his extensive military background he deduced how the German High Command reacted to the opening clashes in 1914 and eventually recoiled after the Battle of the Marne. Still a fascinating read even after so many years, the details of the British and French commanders remain filled with the tension and drama as they sought to stem the seemingly unstoppable German juggernaut.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forty Days in 1914 This little book owes its origin to curiosity. I wanted to see if it was possible to discover what the Germans were planning and doing during the retreat from Mons. I found that by piecing to gether evidence obtainable from the accounts of the early parts of the war published in Germany, in neutral countries, in France, and by Belgian authorities, as well as from the reports of the very full investigations which have been conducted into the German atrocities, in Northern France and in Belgium, it was possible to work out the movements of the German armies, and from these to deduce the German plans. The information obtained in this way threw what has been to me an entirely new light. Upon the campaign, and made clear what had previously been dark.

Pages : 658
Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • “A brilliant piece of military history which proves up to the hilt the force of Winston Churchill’s statement that the first month of World War I was ‘a drama never surpassed.’”—Newsweek Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time In this landmark account, renowned historian Barbara W. Tuchman re-creates the first month of World War I: thirty days in the summer of 1914 that determined the course of the conflict, the century, and ultimately our present world. Beginning with the funeral of Edward VII, Tuchman traces each step that led to the inevitable clash. And inevitable it was, with all sides plotting their war for a generation. Dizzyingly comprehensive and spectacularly portrayed with her famous talent for evoking the characters of the war’s key players, Tuchman’s magnum opus is a classic for the ages. The Proud Tower, the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Guns of August, and The Zimmermann Telegram comprise Barbara W. Tuchman’s classic histories of the First World War era
