About This Book

A detailed military study examines the opening campaigns on the Western front, tracing German strategic aims and the reasons for their changed plans, including movements that threatened Paris. It assesses French strategy under General Joffre, the use of fortified bases to shorten communications, and tactical encounters such as the Marne, operations on the Aisne, and the struggle round Rheims. Chapters analyse how commanders adapted to mass armies, how day-and-night operations influenced outcomes, how German forces narrowly avoided ruin, and conclude with a concise review of results and an appendix of supporting material.
