This is the history of the outbreak of World War One and the first military campaigns, particularly the German invasion of Belgium and France. This was an attempt to win the war quickly but it failed. This book tells of the generals and politicians involved, their goals, preconceptions, expectations, and-for most of them-their failures. The dashing of hopes in August of 1914 was the prelude to four long years of trench warfare.

ISBN10: 0306805057 ISBN13: 9780306805059 On the night of January 11, 1945, fog, low clouds, and blizzards reduced visibility at times to literally zero along the Sandomierz bridgehead.

Within seconds after the order to fire was given by the...
