Description

For the very first time in a generation, this is a bold new account of the Battle of the Marne, a cataclysmic experience that avoided a fast German victory in World War I and transformed the span of the world and two wars. With unique info centered on recently discovered papers, Holger H. Herwig re creates the remarkable fight and reinterprets Germany’s intense “Schlieffen Plan” like a carefully-crafted style to prevent a protracted conflict against exceptional coalitions. He offers a brand new face of the run up to the Marne and places in stunning reduction the Battle of the Marne itself: the German handle to get, and the important insufficient control between Germany’s First and Second Armies.
