Description

The Marne and the Aisne: Two Accounts of the Early Battles of the First Year of the First World War This concise volume brings together two accounts of the pivotal battles of 1914, which played a crucial role in shaping the course of the Great War. The Battle of the Marne halted the German advance on Paris in September 1914, marking a turning point in the conflict. The subsequent Allied counterattack pushed the Germans back to the Aisne, where they were eventually attacked by pursuing forces. The book provides a detailed account of these engagements, including campaign overviews, illustrations, maps, dispatches, and first-hand accounts from those who fought. It also explores a notable engagement around Troyon, which will be of interest to those seeking a deeper understanding of the campaign. This volume offers a valuable insight into the early battles of the First World War, providing a unique perspective on the events that shaped the course of history. Available in paperback with dustjacket.
