Germany's wealth, productivity, technology, and manpower all contributed to her military preeminence. But the heart and soul of Germany's military superiority was the Great General Staff. In 1916, the leadership of the General Staff came into the hands of the ultimate team of Hindenburg and Ludendorff. Robert Asprey's unique contribution to the history of World War I follows the careers of these two superbly trained generals to the point where they literally control the destiny of an entire nation. At the head of the Great General Staff, they lead Germany to the pinnacle of victory and the humiliation of final defeat. In this important book we follow Germany's major battles throughout World War I in vivid detail. We begin with the execution of the Schlieffen Plan and First Marne in the West, and the Battle of Tannenberg in the East, which destroyed two Russian armies and raised Hindenburg to the level of a national hero. And we move step by step to the final massive offensive on the western front in the summer of 1918. Robert Asprey has given us the first book describing the story of World War I from the point of view of the German High Command. …
