Synopsis

Arranged in five sections, one for each year of the War, this superbly illustrated book covers the fluid fighting that took place on the Russian Front from August 1914. Each year saw dramatic developments:

1914 Poland, Tannenberg, the Carpathian passes
1915 actions in Galicia, the Baltic
1916 the Brinsilov offensive
1917 the collapse of the German army and
1918 the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and continued fighting along the Baltic and in the Ukraine.

Its emphasis on the German point-of-view and operations on many fronts makes it especially valuable to the many who seek greater insight into the actions of our enemy.
