Description

Explore the pivotal battle of Tannenberg, a turning point on the Eastern Front of World War I, where the German army annihilated a significant portion of the Russian Second Army. This book brings the epic clash to life through detailed maps, period photographs, and colour battlescenes, providing a unique visual perspective on the events. Michael McNally guides you through the initial border engagements, the battles of Gumbinnen and Stallupönen, and the massive, often confused running battle of Tannenberg, explaining key command decisions and the military material culture of the opposing sides. The book assesses the contribution of modern technology to the German victory, shedding light on the Russian war plan that ultimately failed. By examining the events of Tannenberg, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how the Germans achieved a decisive victory, and the lasting impact it had on the course of World War I.
