The opening battles on the Western Front marked a watershed in
military history. A dramatic, almost Napoleonic war of movement
quickly gave way to static, attritional warfare in which modern
weaponry had forced the combatants to take to the earth. Some of
the last cavalry charges took place in the same theatre in which
armoured cars, motorcycles and aeroplanes were beginning to make
their presence felt. These dramatic developments were recorded in
graphic detail by soldiers who were eyewitnesses to them. There is
a freshness and immediacy to their accounts which Matthew
Richardson exploits in this thoroughgoing reassessment of the 1914
campaign. His vivid narrative emphasises the perspective of the
private soldiers and the junior officers of the British Army, the
men at the sharp end of the fighting.
