Description: This book recounts the epic Battle of the Marne, the largest military engagement in history, with two million soldiers from France and Germany clashing across a 200-kilometer front. It was the culmination of the German advance into France in the First World War, and as the author meticulously uncovers, the battle was fought across three distinct sectors with separate battles starting at different times and ending on different days. The German plan had been to swing around Paris from the west, but as the author shows, French reconnaissance discovered this strategy, enabling General Joffre to shift substantial forces from the city to the battlefront north of Paris. This led to a stunning upset as the French launched a counteroffensive that drove the Germans back. The author provides vivid descriptions of the battle, detailing the tactics used by both sides and the bravery and endurance of the soldiers who fought in the trenches. The book sheds light on one of the most pivotal battles in human history, demonstrating the importance of leadership, intelligence, and strategy in warfare.
