Customer Reviews
Excellent WW 1 German study
First published in 1919, this is one of the most important memoirs of WW 1. General von Falkenhayn was appointed Chief of the General Staff in September 1914 and held the post until September 1916 when he was replaced at the urging of Hindenburg and Ludendorff. Although he later successfully led German armies in the East, this book concentrates on operations under his direction in the first two years of the war. There are chapters on the general military situation at the beginning of September 1914, the initial period of trench warfare, operations at Garlice-Tarnaw in the East, attempts to gain a breakthrough in the West in 1915 and the campaigns of 1916.
