- List Price: $30.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
- Publish date: 01/01/2009
Description:
Based on a decade of research in French and German archives, The Myth of the Great War reveals what actually happened on the battlefield as opposed to what French and British commanders and governments claimed. John Mosier, who visited all major battlefields, describes and analyzes campaigns routinely neglected or ignored and shows why conventional accounts of such major battles as Verdun are incorrect. He explains how German weapons, tactics, training, and leadership were consistently superior and why their losses were one-half to one-third less than those of the Allies. Mosier also discusses the major military leaders on both sides -- Joffre, Petain, Foch, Gallieni, French, Haig, Wilson, yon Moltke, Ludendorff, von Falkenhayn, von Mudra, Pershing, and others.
Expand description
Provocative, controversial, and extensively researched, The Myth of the Great War is an absorbing and valuable new assessment of the military realities of World War I.
