The massive offensives on the Eastern Front during 1915 are too
often overshadowed by the events in Western Europe, but the scale
and ferocity of the clashes between Imperial Germany, Habsburg
Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia were greater than anything seen
on the Western Front and ultimately as important to the final
outcome of the war. With the Russians hamstrung by weak supply
lines and the Austro-Hungarian leadership committed to a strategy
of offensive drives despite diminishing manpower and adverse
terrain, the fighting in early 1915 was a costly and futile
exercise. By the summer, the Central Powers, increasingly dominated
by Germany, had begun to gain the advantage, but even the
Gorlice-Tarnow Offensive of 1915 - which ultimately resulted in the
retreat of Russian forces from Poland - failed to bring the
conflict to a conclusion. Now with the work of internationally
renowned Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar, this fascinating story
is finally being told. From the bitter fighting in the Carpathian
Mountains, to the sweeping advances through Serbia and the almost
medieval battle for the fortress of Przemysl, this is a
staggeringly ambitious history of some of the most important
moments of the First World War.
