Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the pivotal 1914 Campaign of the Marne, a six-week period that marked the dramatic opening of World War I and the culmination of decades of meticulous military planning by both France and Germany. The author meticulously analyzes the opposing strategies: the German Schlieffen Plan, with its focus on a swift, decisive offensive through Belgium, and the French Plan XVII, rooted in a firm belief in the power of offensive action. Through detailed examination of the plans' strengths and weaknesses, and the critical decisions made by military leaders on both sides, the book offers a comprehensive and impartial account of the campaign's unfolding. More than just a historical recounting, the book explores the timeless challenges faced by inexperienced armies grappling with new technologies and untested tactics. It reveals the enduring lessons of the Marne, relevant even today, about the complexities of warfare and the human cost of strategic miscalculations. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the significance of the Marne as a turning point in history, not only for its immediate impact on the course of World War I, but also for its lasting influence on the evolution of modern warfare.
