Synopsis

Excerpt from The Making of a Modern Army and Its Operations in the Field: A Study Based on the Experience of Three Years on the French Front (1914-1917)

The purpose of this book is to show to the American officers, and also to the civilians who take an interest in war matters, how a large army on the European Front in the last quarter of the year 1917 is made up.

In the course of general considerations we have explained what is meant by the words strategy and tactics we have described those interior lines which have been of such powerful assistance to Germany; we have dwelt on the composition of the large units of an army, and more especially on that of a division as a fighting unit.
