Yes. I purchased it and have read it three times. I want to get his book on the Franco Prussian war.
That would be interesting, all that stuff was tied
together even years apart.
Another execellent read is “The Marne, 1914”,
by Holger H. Herwig. A good and somewhat differnt
look at the events leading up to the Marne and the
things that resulted in the German repulse. The
mistakes and the miscommunications that lead to
the stalemate later.
Very good, and well researched.
A million and a half dead and more crippled in the First World War ; smaller population than Germany; low birth rate and the socialist and communist influences in the government, academic and news cartel areas and the Army not combined arms integrated like the Krauts-——the collapse in 1940 isn’t too surprising.
