Liaison 1914 by Edward Spears

Description

Most World War I experts agree the "Great War" was decided in the first 20 days of fighting. Yet uncontrollable events sucked in gigantic forces that swiftly brought long, horrible mass slaughter because the stakes were so high. The early fateful days are described in fascinating, horrific detail by a British officer who, as a liaison between the British and French armies, possessed a unique vantage point for observing military strategy and politics.
