Summary

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
