Description

 							
  It is one of the
essential events of military history, a cataclysmic encounter that prevented a quick German victory in World War I and
changed the course of two wars and the world. Now, for the first time in a generation, here is a bold new account of the
Battle of the Marne. A landmark work by a distinguished scholar, The Marne, 1914 gives, for the first time, all sides of
the story. In remarkable detail, and with exclusive information based on newly unearthed documents, Holger H. Herwig
superbly re-creates the dramatic battle, revealing how the German force was foiled and years of brutal trench warfare
were made inevitable.
  
  Herwig brilliantly reinterprets Germany’s aggressive “Schlieffen
Plan”–commonly considered militarism run amok–as a carefully crafted, years-in-the-making design to
avoid a protracted war against superior coalitions. He also paints a new portrait of the run-up to the Marne: the Battle
of the Frontiers, long thought a coherent assault but really a series of haphazard engagements that left “heaps of
corpses,” France demoralized, Belgium in ruins, and Germany emboldened to take Paris.
  
  Finally,
Herwig puts in dazzling relief the Battle of the Marne itself: the French resolve to win, which included the exodus of
100,000 people from Paris (where even pigeons were placed under state control in case radio communications broke down),
the crucial lack of coordination between Germany’s First and Second Armies, and the fateful “day of
rest” taken by the Third Army. He provides revelatory new facts about the all-important order of retreat by
Germany’s Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hentsch, previously an event hardly documented and here freshly
reconstructed from diary excerpts.
  
  Herwig also provides stunning cameos of all the important players:
Germany’s Chief of General Staff Helmuth von Moltke, progressively despairing and self-pitying as his plans go
awry; his rival, France’s Joseph Joffre, seemingly weak but secretly unflappable and steely; and Commander of the
British Expeditionary Force John French, arrogant, combative, and mercurial.
  
  The Marne, 1914 puts into
context the battle’s rich historical significance: how it turned the war into a four-year-long fiasco that taught
Europe to accept a new form of barbarism and stoked the furnace for the fires of World War II. Revelatory and riveting,
this will be the new source on this seminal event.
