This collection of scholarly articles examines the key personalities and personal conflicts of World War I. The relationship between the tree cousins George V, Wilhelm II, and Nicholas II was important in the early stages of the war. Each country had a civilian prime minister who often had a stormy relationship with his military commanders. The Western allies in particular had conflicting aims and priorities.
The success or failure of key individuals to cooperate and communicate had tremendous repercussions during World War I, with the fate of millions often hanging in the balance. These essays reveal the true relationships at the top during the 1914-1918 period, and how they influenced the course of the war.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. 291 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H). B&w illustrations. "(E)xamines the often stormy relationships (of the generals and politicians of the Great War), portraying the decision-making process on both sides. Many of the individuals involved remain household names today over eighty years on: Douglas Haig, Ferdinand Foch, David Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson and the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II. The results of their endeavours led to the now legendary carnage in Gallipoli, on the Somme, in the mud of Flanders and the frozen heights of the Alps. How did these great men conduct their relationships and decision-making? To answer this, the chapters range widely to look at the Home Front, the Western Front and America at war. They also deal with the role of royalty and sideshows such as Italy, where Britian and France came to the aid of faltering allies. In all of this, defeat or victory would be decided by the most forceful and dynamic leaders willing to listen to and accept the wisest counsel. (This book) brings together the works of distinguished authorities on this ever-fascinating period and adds significantly to our understanding of the often complex relationships at play." Minor browning to edges of textblock, two tiny edge tears with crease at top of page 139/140 - archivally taped. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling. Seller Inventory # 25963
