Book Description
Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 2 But who was our main opponent? To me, without doubt, he who had the greatest resources and the high est determination. London, which had always been the political nerve-centre of the Entente, became ever more definitely the military centre also. It let no real opportunity slip, not even the construction Of a new Eastern Front in the year 1918. While London stood, no victory over the Russians could be regarded as more than a partial victory, serving merely to render possible the swift conclusion of a separate peace with the Czar and thus to free our strength for employ ment against the chief enemy.
