Identifies the key battle that started World War I in 1914, highlighting significant figures, moments, and the turning point that led to the end of fighting.
After a quarter of a million casualties, the German advance was stopped by the French and British troops, resulting in a defensive struggle known as "trench warfare," which ensued for the next four years. The author offers a well-organized, descriptive study of the origins of the Great War, the men who fought, the opening battles, the turning point, and the aftermath, and a speculative section on the might-have-beens of the Marne. Maps, a good selection of black-and-white photos, and a useful chronology are all a part of this useful military history.
