Synopsis:
During the first two years of World War I a German general called from obscure retirement, Paul Von Hindenburg, aided by his deputy, Erich Ludendorff, won imperial fame from his successful campaigns on the eastern front. In 1916 Kaiser Wilhelm named Hindenburg to head the all-powerful Great German Staff with Ludendorff his deputy. At first all went well. But as food and other resources including replacements diminished, and as America entered the war, the top command increasingly panicked. In the summer of 1918 German armies in the west opened an all-out defensive. This failed and German surrender followed as did the fall of the German empire.
About the Author: A former Marine Corps captain and veteran of two wars, Asprey is an internationally known writer of military history. His many books include the controversial War in the Shadows, an in-depth study of guerrilla warfare. His most recent work, a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte is a major selection of the History Book Club.
