The Marne Campaign (Classic Reprint) by Frederick Ernest Whitton Pdf

Excerpt from The Marne Campaign For years before the outbreak of the European war, a war which had been foreseen by all soldiers who were acquainted with the preparations being made for it in. Germany and, to a less extent, elsewhere on the Continent, military experts had been discussing the administrative problems which the handling of the huge armies of the present day must create. It was asserted in some quarters that the staffs concerned would find it impracticable to man uvre, these colossal bodies of men when the issue came to be put to the test, that swift transfers of force over a wide extent of country were no longer feasible, and that the very size. of the armies employed must henceforward militate against the development of vertebrate and decisive operations of war. These anticipations were not borne out by the events I with which this volume deals. Whatever the experiences of the contending sides may have been subsequent to the, contest of the Marne, the course of operations in Belgium and France up to, and including, that memorable struggle, serves to belie the theory that the vast numbers which are placed in the field to-day necessarily forbid the carrying out of strategical combinations hinging on mobility.

History of the World War, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Frank H. Simonds Pdf

Excerpt from History of the World War, Vol. 1 The World War, entering its thirty-fourth month, as these lines are writ ten, has had three distinct phases, both on the military side and on the larger and more significant human side. The three military phases are supplied by the Marne campaign and its immediate consequences; the Russian campaign, with its Balkan episode and its Verdun ending; the Allied offensive in the west, which began at the Somme in July, 1916, and is still proceeding before Arras and along the old Aisne battlefield. In the Marne campaign Germany sought a complete triumph by a swift and terrible thrust at France, the only one of her foes then in any sense pre pared for war. Her thrust was parried at the Marne and permanently blocked at the Yser and at Ypres. Thereafter she had to turn east and restore the fail ing fortunes of Austria and protect her own imperilled marches. In the Russian campaign Germany sought to dispose of Russia, as she had endeavoured to dispose of France in the Marne campaign. Immediate success escaped her in this field. Despite terrible defeats and long retreats, Russian resistance was not broken, although the Russian Revolution, now the main factor on the eastern front and unmistakably a consequence of Russian defeat, gives to the German campaign of 1915 a value that was not perceived at the time. What the permanent value will be remains problematical. But as she had to turn east, with her western task incomplete in 1914, Germany had, after a brief and glorious campaign on behalf of her Turkish ally, to return west in February, 1916, and seek at Verdun what she had not attained on the Marne. Her failure there cost her the initiative and condemned her to the defensive. The campaign which opened at the Somme is still proceeding. Since they began their attack on July 1, 1916, the Allies have steadily, if only slowly, pushed the Germans back and the recent victory of Arras demonstrates that the British army has at last reached a high state of efficiency, while there are signs, far from conclusive to be sure, of a decline in German morale. At all events, the Germans remain on the defensive and the end of this third phase has not come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Battle of the Marne (Classic Reprint) by George Herbert Perris Pdf

Excerpt from The Battle of the Marne Having been privileged to watch the war in France from beginning to end, and to live with the French armies (as Correspondent attached to General Head quarters) for more than two years, the writer has also had exceptional opportunities of studying the terrain, and of discussing the drama as a whole and in detail with officers and men from the highest to the most humble. To name all those from whom he has re ceived aid would be impossible; to name any might seem to associate them with conclusions for which he is solely responsible; but he may record his deep gratitude to the French Government, the Headquarters Staff, and the various Army Staffs, for the rare experi ence of which this volume is unworthy fruit.

The Dardanelles Campaign (Classic Reprint) by Henry W. Nevinson Pdf

Excerpt from The Dardanelles Campaign From the outset the Dardanelles Campaign attracted me with peculiar interest. The shores of the Straits were the scene of the Trojan epics and dramas. They were explored and partly inhabited by a race whose legends and history had been more familiar to me from boyhood than my own country's, and more inspiring. They belonged to that beautiful part of the world with which I had become personally intimate during the wars, rebellions, and other disturbances of the previous twenty years. But, above all, I was attracted to the Campaign because I regarded it as a strategic conception surpassing others in promise. My reasons are referred to in various chapters of this book, and indeed they were obvious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
